Notre Dame a finalist for in-state 2023 5-star linebacker

The Irish take a big step forward with the instate star athlete’s recruitment

The Irish have a rising star in their backyard and it seems they have a very good chance of keeping him at home. On Monday, Andrean linebacker Drayk Bowen announced his top five schools, and Notre Dame was included along with LSU, Auburn, Clemson and Indiana.

It seems Bowen would like to play both football and baseball at the next level, and the opportunity to stay at home and play for the Irish would be a fantastic pairing. The baseball team is coming off a trip to the NCAA Super Regional round while the football team has made the College Football Playoff in two of the last three seasons.

The 6-foot-2-inch, 215-pound two-sport star is still a ways from making his college decision official. Though the Irish are working on finishing their 2022 recruiting class, there is still an eye on the 2023’s. Currently Notre Dame has two commits in the ‘23 class and would love for Bowen to make it three.
