Notre Dame to host 4-star 2027 Michigan athlete this weekend

The Irish will welcome in one of Michigan’s best this weekend

While the state of Michigan isn’t necessarily a hotbed recruiting area, Notre Dame football has had some recent success in the “Mitten State.”

The Irish signed one of the states best in 2024, with quarterback CJ Carr, and are looking to rekindle that magic in the 2027 cycle. Detroit Country Day athlete [autotag]Anthony Cartwright[/autotag], who currently does not have a Notre Dame offer, will be making a visit to South Bend this weekend as Stanford comes into town.

While it’s not the juiciest matchup, the 6-foot, 4-inch and 198-pound prospect will still get to see everything that Notre Dame offers to a student-athlete. Ranked as the No. 61 overall prospect in Cartwright’s class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, he already holds offers from Alabama, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Michigan and others.

It seems that if everything goes well, that the 2027 star should be returning home with an Irish offer in-hand. Hopefully that is the case and a return trip will be planned in the near future.

Rutgers football offers ’27 Anthony Cartwright

Anthony Cartwright gets offered by Rutgers football.

Rutgers football became the latest program to officially get involved in with sophomore tight end Anthony Cartwright from Michigan. The Big Ten program offered Cartwright on Thursday.

He is a class of 2027 recruit from Detroit Country Day School (Beverly Hills, Michigan). The offer from Rutgers is the latest in a recruitment that is certainly blowing up.

Cartwright’s offer list is already impressive and makes him a national recruit. The 6-foot-4, 198-pound tight end has been extended by Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan and Michigan State among others.

He also plays basketball for Detroit Country Day.

On Thursday evening, Cartwright posted about the offer from Rutgers, tagging head coach Greg Schiano and tight ends coach Scott Vallone:

 

Vallone was recently promoted to tight ends coach after serving Rutgers as the offensive line assistant the past two years.

A multi-year starter at Rutgers, Vallone went on and played in the NFL for three teams before transitioning into coaching.

Rutgers has had success in recruiting Detroit Country Day in recent years. [autotag]Gabriel Winowich[/autotag], a four-star running back and part of the 2024 recruiting class for Rutgers, played his first three seasons of high school football at Detroit Country Day.

At the time of his commitment last year, Winowich was matriculated in the school. He transferred over the summer to play his senior season at Notre Dame Prep (Lawrenceville, New Jersey).

Cartwright’s most recent offer came on March 15 from Tulane.
