The Irish continue to search for game-changing defensive lineman and more than a few are seriously considering playing their college football in South Bend.
One that is new to [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] is Florida’s [autotag]Deyvid Palapale[/autotag], who preps at powerhouse [autotag]IMG Academy[/autotag]. The 2023 lineman recently was offered by the Irish as they joined other teams like [autotag]Penn State[/autotag], [autotag]Kentucky[/autotag], [autotag]USC[/autotag] and [autotag]Wisconsin[/autotag] vying for the talents of the six-foot-three-inch and 303-pound player.
Football runs in the family as his cousin is [autotag]Penei Sewell[/autotag], former [autotag]Oregon[/autotag] star and current [autotag]Detroit Lion[/autotag]. Originally from Alaska, Palapale moved to Pennsylvania a few years ago before recently transferring to IMG.

It seems like Palepale is open to playing anywhere in the country, although early reports have him favoring USC. The Irish might face an uphill battle with one of their biggest rivals for his commitment.
