While it has been a bit slow for Notre Dame football on the recruiting end of the 2025 class, it came to an abrupt end on Tuesday afternoon.
The Irish flipped former USF athlete commit [autotag]Antavious Richardson[/autotag], who had been committed to the Bulls since June. The 6-foot and 175-pound Georgia native is ranked as the nation’s No. 438 overall prospect and 24th rated athlete according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Richardson was offered by Notre Dame about two weeks ago, as earlier in the month Alabama came forward with an offer as well. Many of his top offers came after his commitment, showing everyone that he was a flying under many schools radars.
It’s hard to get a read on where he will line up for Notre Dame, as he played quarterback, running back and safety for his high school team. Richardson is also a track star, as he was the state champion last year in the 100 and 200-meter dashes.
The commitment is No. 23 for the Irish, in a class that ranks as the No. 10 group according to the 247Sports Composite Team rankings.
