Nephew of Kobe Bryant, a 2026 safety, trying to visit Notre Dame this fall

Surely those are good bloodlines

Although the page has yet to be turned on the 2025 Notre Dame recruiting class, see Deuce Knight, the Irish are still looking ahead to the next class.

One of its targets is Nevada safety [autotag]Jett Washington[/autotag], who was offered a scholarship back in January is extremely interested in the Irish. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 200-pound star is ranked as the nation’s No. 61 overall prospect and 4th ranked athlete according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

According to a social media post by Matt Freeman, Washington is looking to get to South Bend sometime in November. Notre Dame has two of its biggest games that month, hosting Florida State and traveling to USC.

You have to assume that the Irish coaching staff wants Washington on campus when the Seminoles come to town, as that’s the best recruiting environment they’ll have during that month.
