Notre Dame hasn’t had success recruiting a running back to the 2021 class yet but they did get a boost on Thursday night as former Stanford running Trevor Speights gave the Irish a commitment.
Speights carried the ball 93 times for Stanford in 2017 and ’18, totaling 363 yards and a touchdown in those two seasons. He did haul in seven receptions for another 54 yards in those two years.
Thank you Stanford for an unbelievable opportunity and experience, it has been a dream come true🙏🏾Excited for what the future holds! #GoIrish ☘️ pic.twitter.com/wm5tvntGXO

Speights is the fourth transfer to join Notre Dame this off-season. Defensive back Isaiah Pryor made the move from Ohio State, former Northwestern captain and wide receiver Bennett Skowronek made the jump in January and corner Nick McCloud made the move from North Carolina State recently.
More on this story later. In the meantime it’s worth noting that Speights will have two years of eligibility remaining with the Fighting Irish.
