Notre Dame football has been no stranger to getting commitments from former NFL players prospects and also former Irish legends.
On Sunday, both happened, as [autotag]Jerome Bettis Jr.[/autotag], the son of “The Bus” committed to Notre Dame. The younger Bettis was clearly introduced to the game by his father, but ultimately forged his own path as a wide receiver. At 6-foot, 2-inches and 190-pounds, Jr. fits the mold.
He isn’t extremely highly ranked, as Bettis Jr. is the No. 671 overall prospect and 113th rated receiver recruit according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. The Irish 2025 class now has 18 total commitments, and now three receivers.

Bettis Jr. is the second legacy commit of the receiver group, joining Elijah Burress, son of Michigan State star Plaxico Burress.
