Notre Dame offers 2025 USF athlete commit, as it waits for the recruiting dominoes

Is this the first real sign that the Irish aren’t confident about Knight’s commitment?

The [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag] saga continues for Notre Dame football. Multiple analysts believe he will flip to either Ole Miss or Auburn.

The Mississippi native has a visit to the Tigers scheduled during the first weekend of the season. At this point, it wouldn’t make much sense for Notre Dame to bank on him staying in the class, so other moves had to be made.

The first sign the Irish aren’t too confident in Knight’s pledge came on Friday, when an offer went out to 2025 Georgia native [autotag]Antavious Richardson[/autotag].

The 6-foot 175-pounder could play at either quarterback or the secondary. He committed to South Florida in June, but North Carolina, Duke and now Notre Dame offered this month. That is plenty for the unranked quarterback to think about, and we will see how serious Richardson is when considering a flip to the Irish.
