Notre Dame offers two class of 2022 quarterbacks

The Fighting Irish football staff offered their first two quarterbacks of the 2022 recruiting cycle.

The Irish had yet to offer a quarterback in the class of 2022, but that all changed yesterday as two offers went out to signal callers. First Brian Kelly and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees offered Kentucky’s Gavin Wimsatt.

Wimsatt is exactly what the Irish are looking for in a quarterback prospect. Great size at 6-foot-3-inch and 200-pounds possessing a rocket arm. In the past few years, the Notre Dame staff has moved towards more dual-threat options at the position and Wimsatt is exactly that. He threw for 31 touchdowns last year while running in 12 more, Wimsatt showed he can excel through the air and on the ground.

Next it was New Jersey’s Steven Angeli’s turn to get the coveted Irish offer.

Although Angeli isn’t currently ranked by the 247Sports composite, his offer list is telling enough that he will be a nationally recruited prospect. Already holding verbal offers from LSU, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State, Angeli is a wanted quarterback. At 6-foot-3-inches and 210-pounds, Angeli’s measurables are almost identical to Wimsatt’s.

You might notice that Angeli’s twitter background photo is of him at Penn State, well one of their insiders, Sean Fitz, became the second person to crystal ball Angeli to Notre Dame after the offer. This bodes very well for his recruitment in the future.

Both the offers to Wimsatt and Angeli put the Irish staff on the right track in their hunt for a 2022 quarterback. Either of them would fit great in the Notre Dame offense, both players would be more than welcome additions and we will continue to monitor their recruitments here at Fighting Irish Wire.
