Scouts view: Notre Dame newest commit, 2025 edge rusher Christopher Burgess

The Irish get another big time prospect in their 2025 class

Notre Dame football scored a huge recruiting win on Saturday afternoon, as 2025 Illinois defense end [autotag]Christopher Burgess[/autotag] committed to the Irish.

The 6-foot, 4-inch and 240-pound edge rusher is considered one of the best prospects in the country, ranking as the No. 18 defensive lineman and 147th overall recruit according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

The Irish beat out some of the other top schools in the country, who also wanted Burgess as part of their 2025 recruiting class. Notre Dame should be extremely happy with their most recent addition, and so should you. Here is my breakdown of the skill set Burgess will bring to South Bend.
