Notre Dame adds another ’21 defensive commitment

Notre Dame went to the defensive side of the ball as a big defensive end from California became the latest Irish commitment.

Notre Dame has added another commitment to their 2021 recruiting class as they were able to get weakside defensive end Devin Aupiu to flip his commitment from UCLA to the Irish on Wednesday.

Aupiu had ten offers from mostly Pac-12 schools but the Oxnard, California (Pacifica) product chose to head to the midwest instead of staying close to home.

Aupiu is a sizeable prospect, checking in at 6-5, 225 pounds.  He joins the 2021 Notre Dame class that already featured Will Schweitzer and Jason Onye as defensive end/outside linebacker commitments.

The commitment makes it 24 for Notre Dame in the 2021 class that they hope still grows by a couple of bodies in the next couple of weeks.
