Brian Kelly and his coaching staff have turned their attention to the 2022 recruiting class and are making a concerned effort to recruit some of the best prospects in the nation that fit the Notre Dame profile. Well, they found a good one in South Carolina’s cornerback Jeadyn Lukus who was offered yesterday.

Lukus has the prototypical modern corner frame at 6-foot-1-inch and 175-pounds and uses his elite frame to lock down opposing wide receivers. It’s not just Lukus’ coverage skills that stand out, he has a willingness to come up and make the big hit. Lukus’ is the compete package as an cornerback. You can watch Lukas’ highlights here.
It should come to no one’s surprise that Lukus’ is a nationally recruited prospect, as Notre Dame joined schools like Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Ohio State. He is currently ranked as the 30th player nationally and the 6th corner in the country by the 247Sports composite rankings.
Recently committed linebacker Will Schweitzer has already put on his recruiting hat. Schweitzer just flipped his commitment to the Irish from Nebraska on August 16th, but already is using twitter to recruit for the Irish’s advantage.
Congrats bro! You know the move☘️☘️

This is the 12th offer to a true cornerback in the 2022 class. The Irish have just one commit on the defensive side of the ball, Nolan Ziegler a safety, who just committed over the weekend. The Irish have three total commits in the ‘22 class at the moment, ranking the 4th nationally, although it is very early in this cycle.
