Sometimes, when seemingly every program is after somebody, you gotta make your move. Lance Taylor could see this during his pursuit of Justice Haynes, a running back from Blessed Trinity Catholic in Rosewell, Georgia. The time to make an offer to play at Notre Dame to the offensive player of the year in his state’s region was now or never. Luckily, Haynes confirmed that Taylor chose now:
After a great talk with @CoachLT39 I am honored and grateful to say I have received an offer from The University Of Notre Dame!! #GoIrish pic.twitter.com/4XITT0nSvh

Notre Dame’s offer was the fifth Haynes had received since Wednesday. The Irish came in just behind Oregon, Western Kentucky, Ohio State and Auburn in that order. Despite this latest round of offers pouring in, 247Sports sees Georgia as the clear front-runner to land his services. This all comes on top of the offers he’s also received from such schools as Florida State, Miami, Penn State, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Arkansas and Georgia Tech.
It goes without saying, but having to field offers from so many prominent programs in such a short period of time is a good problem for any recruit to have.
