While Iowa was busy ruining Minnesota’s perfect season and Iowa State was upsetting Texas on a last-second field goal, Notre Dame was dismantling Navy and attempting to steal defensive back prospect out of The Hawkeye State.
Xavier Nwankpa of Southeast Polk in Pleasant Hill, Iowa became the second defensive back in the class of 2022 to receive a scholarship-offer from Notre Dame.

Iowa, Iowa State and Nebraska were the first three programs to offer Nwankpa a scholarship.
Mike Singer of Blue-Gold Illustrated caught up with Nwankpa who said he was “excited and in shock” upon receiving the offer.
