SKOL Search: Post Senior Bowl mailbag

The Vikings Wire’s Tyler Forness answers fans questions on trade speculation and possible draft moves.

Over the course of the offseason, there won’t be a shortage of content, stories or potential happenings surrounding the Minnesota Vikings. As we continue to progress throughout the next few months, every so often I will be doing a mailbag discussing the happenings surrounding the purple and gold.

Today’s mailbag will be focusing mainly on the fallout of the Senior Bowl, the NFL Draft and the coaching staff turnover post-Mike Zimmer. After each major event in the offseason calendar (or every few weeks), I will be doing one of these to answer any questions that you might have regarding current events. Without further ado, let’s jump right into the questions.

Is Notre Dame getting left behind in the 2022 race for quarterback recruits?

With multiple quarterbacks making commitments in the 2022 class, should Notre Dame fans fear the Irish will be left behind?

Another quarterback domino fell yesterday as Clemson received a commitment from Texas quarterback Cade Klubnik. Alabama recently receiver a commitment from Tennessee’s Ty Simpson, who considered the Irish but ultimately choose between the Tiger and Crimson Tide. The other 2020 College Football Playoff participant Ohio State, they have a commit from Texas’ Quinn Ewers, the top rated player in the nation. All three of them are considered top-100 prospects.

Notre Dame, well, they’ve yet to grab a quarterback in their 2022 class and their options are dwindling down. According to the 247Sports composite rankings, the top 8 quarterback have now committed, but this doesn’t mean doom and gloom for the Irish.

Kentucky’s Gavin Wimsatt, who holds an Irish offer, is very high on Notre Dame and are viewed as one of the favorites to land his commitment. He’s considered to be a top-100 prospect.

Ohio’s Drew Allar, was offered by Brian Kelly and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees last week. Allar likes the Irish along with Penn State, who recently saw 247Sports director of recruiting, Steve Wiltfong, place a prediction for Allar to end up committing to the Nittany Lions. It looks like Notre Dame has some catching up to do with Allar.

The third option at the moment is New Jersey’s Steve Angeli, who is also extremely high on the Irish. Angeli’s courtship with Notre Dame has been going on for a while, as the offer to him went out in August of last year, the same day as Wimsatt received his. All 6 of the crystal ball predictions logged for Angeli have him ending up in South Bend.

I really like Angeli, I believe he has a bright future, but he isn’t my first choice, Wimsatt is. I would love to see Kelly and Rees put the full-court recruiting press on the Kentuckian and see where that takes them. If it doesn’t work out, Angeli would be a great consolation prize.

With the cycle being still in it’s early stages, there is some worry that the Irish will get left behind and not have one of their top choices end up in South Bend. Don’t get caught up in that, the Irish are fine and will get a very good quarterback prospect in this class.

’22 Ohio Quarterback Set to Visit Notre Dame

the likes of Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue, Minnesota, Northwestern, Pitt and others have expressed interest

The 2021 Notre Dame recruiting class is set at quarterback as Tyler Buchner of California is already committed but the groundwork for a 2022 signal-caller has been being laid for quite some time.  No offer has been made and one doesn’t appear imminent but Tom Loy of Irish Illustrated reports that ’22 prospect Chase Harrison will attend Notre Dame’s annual Blue-Gold Game on April 18.

Harrison wrapped up his sophomore season at Centerville High School in Dayton, Ohio this past fall and posted an impressive stat-line of: 215/329, 2638 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and seven interceptions.  Harrison added 180 rush yards and four scores on the ground.

Chase Harrison’s list of offers isn’t overly impressive as he only has three to date: Louisville, Toledo and Penn.  However, the likes of Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue, Minnesota, Northwestern, Pitt and others have expressed interest.

Harrison is listed at 6-2 and 191 pounds.  For any developments with his or any recruitments, we’ll keep you updated on them all at Fighting Irish Wire.
