It had been a while since Notre Dame last received a commitment to their 2021 recruiting class seeing as it’s been a whole five days.
That might not seem very long but considering the heater Notre Dame has been on in recruiting, it feels like a long time.
The Irish received four commitments last week as their class ranking jumped into the top 10 nationally according to most outlets.
Tuesday saw them add yet another commitment, this one coming from a young man they only offered an official scholarship to days ago.
JoJo Johnson was offered by Notre Dame on Sunday and on Tuesday, the Merrillville, Indiana senior made his decision to play for Brian Kelly and the Fighting Irish official.

Johnson becomes the 22nd commitment to Notre Dame’s class and will start his career in South Bend in the defensive backfield.
Johnson is rated as a three-star prospect by both 247Sports and Rivals and chose Notre Dame over offers from 17 other programs including Cincinnati, Purdue, Iowa, Michigan State and several MAC schools.
Johnson originally committed to Cincinnati on May 1 but reopened his recruitment by de-committing in mid-October.
Johnson is listed at 5-11, 180 pounds and becomes the fifth defensive back to join the 2021 recruiting class.
