In what is a truly a unique off-season and time to be recruiting, Notre Dame may be again feeling the effects.
In the last couple of months Notre Dame has seen wide receiver Deion Colzie de-commit from the 2021 class and just a couple weeks back the Irish lost out on big-time running back Will Shipley, likely largely because his was unable to get back to campus to make an official visit.
Now it appears another de-commitment in the 2021 class may be coming.
Four-star defensive end David Abiara committed to Notre Dame on March 27. The Mansfield, Texas product has still been pursued by Oklahoma since then the 247Sports staff is all over him flipping his commitment to the Sooners.
Three lead experts at 247Sports: Brandon Drumm, Steve Wiltfong and Tom Loy have all switched their predictions for Abiara from Notre Dame to Oklahoma.
Friends, Abiara might not have made it official yet but I’m having trouble believing all three of those recruiting experts are changing their predictions unless they’ve got some inside information, very possibly from the source himself.
So long story short – I’d get ready to hear news of that de-commitment sooner rather than later.
As it stands now Notre Dame currently has 10 commitments in the 2021 class, counting Abiara. He’s one of two defensive ends in the class as Jason Onye of Rhode Island is the other.
