It is just technically a month into the 2022 recruiting cycle but many schools have already been hard at work trying to secure a top class. Notre Dame is one of those, as the Irish have gotten off to a very fast start with seven commits so far.

Since the page has turned to the 2022’s, some of the major outlets have been looking at who has gotten out of the gates quickly and secured high-level commits.
Over at ESPN, Craig Haubert looked at a group of 10 schools who have had the most success in the class, with the Irish checking in at number 8 (insider). Of the seven committed player, five of them rank inside ESPN’s top 300.

Haubert is impressed with the early offensive line commits in Joey Tanona and Ty Chan and who they’ll eventually be blocking for in running back Jadarian Price. He also highlighted defensive end Tyson Ford, who Haubert said has a “nice initial burts as well as good agility.”

They weren’t the only ones giving Brian Kelly and his staff praise for their early recruiting success, 247Sports did as well. Interestingly, they also have the Irish’s class ranked as the 8th best early on. Also, Brian Dohn pretty much singled out the same players, with the exception of Price.

They like the balance of the commits early on, as the Irish have checked off some early boxes along the offense and defensive lines, running back, defensive back and receiver.
Right now, Notre Dame is in great position to continue to add onto what is a very solid start. The next few months will be very important for the Irish on the recruiting trail, as they look to keep the early momentum going.
