As the Irish continue to look for a second wide receiver in their 2021 recruiting class along with Lorenzo Styles Jr., they received good news to filling that spot on Friday. Georgia’s Jayden Thomas released this Top 5 school and Notre Dame made the cut.

Thomas checks in at 6’1” and 198-pounds and the Irish have a battle on their hands to grab his verbal commitment. Right now neither Rivals nor 247Sport’s experts have predicted where Thomas may end up and baseball will play a into his decision. He would like to play both sports at the next level and Thomas would be a great addition to Jarrett Link’s group.

The two-sport athlete is an impressive player, as he plays all over the football field for his Pace Academy team. What sticks out most to me is the work he does off the ball, blocking for his teammates. That shows every that Thomas is a team player and will do what his team needs to win. Thomas would be a welcome addition to the 2021 Notre Dame class and we will have to wait a little long to find out if that is a reality.
