Something had to give, as the Irish just accepted their 27th commitment of the class yesterday when Virginia athlete [autotag]Brandyn Hillman[/autotag] announced his commitment. It left many, including myself, how many players [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] would ultimately sign in the 2023 cycle.
Things have a way of working out and that’s exactly what happened today as Kansas running back [autotag]Dylan Edwards[/autotag] has decommitted from Notre Dame. The back had been committed to the Irish since August and went on to have a very impressive senior campaign and the timing of this decommitment is very odd as Freeman and running backs coach [autotag]Deland McCullough[/autotag] had just visited Edwards earlier in the week.

It’s an unfortunate turn of evens but the Irish aren’t left without other options. They still have [autotag]Jayden Limar[/autotag], Hillman and [autotag]Jeremiyah Love[/autotag] who can all play running back in the class.
