Notre Dame continues to trend away from 5-star defensive tackle

The Irish will most likely have to look elsewhere for a defensive tackle

Earlier this year, it seemed it was just a matter of time before Illinois defensive tackle [autotag]Justin Scott[/autotag] was going to commit to [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag].

When he announced he was going to commit on his birthday at the end of January, many expected the five-star to pledge to the Irish. Well, as we know, Scott postponed his announcement to make sure it was the correct choice.

That choice is looking less and less likely to be the Irish. Scott announced four of his official visits recently; none is to South Bend. On top of that, Stephen Wagner of On3 has predicted Scott will end up at Miami.

Scott even retweeted this prediction. Also, the only school that received a graphic posted by him regarding official visits was Miami. Right now, it’s not looking good for Notre Dame to land Scott.
