Notre Dame has been riding a heater in the recruiting game of late, gaining four commitments over the last week as their 2021 class has climbed into the top ten nationally.
Now might Brian Kelly and the Irish be about to add 22nd commitment to that list?
That isn’t certain by any means but Notre Dame did extend another offer to a 2021 prospect on Sunday, extending an offer to JoJo Johnson of Merrillville, Indiana.
Johnson is listed as a wide receiver on 247Sports but Notre Dame would be looking for him to be a defensive back.
Johnson is listed at 5-11, 180 pounds and is graded as a three-star prospect.
Johnson has 16 offers, largely from MAC schools like Northern Illinois, Ball State, Central Michigan, Miami (OH), Toledo and Western Michigan.
Big Ten schools Iowa, Michigan State and Purdue have all offered as well Cincinnati, Washington State, and a handful of others.
