Notre Dame lands their first 2024 commitment after Blue vs. Gold game

BOOOOM!!!!

The Irish have done very well on the recruiting trail since Marcus Freeman arrived on campus and it has not changed one bit since he was elevated to the head coaching position. Actually, it has improved, a drastic change in philosophy since the Brian Kelly era.

The Blue vs. Gold game, or any spring game, is a big draw for many prospects and Freeman wanted to take full advantage of the environment. He did exactly that by securing the first class of 2024 commitment in defensive lineman Brandon Davis-Swain. The six-foot-four-inch and 230-pound four-star end from Michigan went to Twitter to make his intentions known.

Davis-Swain had already garnered a lot of interest, holding offers from Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Ole Miss and Tennessee. Although early in the process, having that kind of Power-5 interest is extremely impressive. He becomes the first 2024 commit for the Irish as they are now off and running in that cycle.

Get hyped up!!!

Today is the day when the Irish take on…. the Irish. Football is back, sort of, but that shouldn’t subside the significance of the annual spring game. The Blue vs. Gold game is a preview of what we will see this fall. Players who didn’t see the field next year will get a chance to show their off-season improvements.

Stars get a chance to work on the little things that will continue to elevate their game. Depth charts start to materialize, who has the coaches confidence right now as they will bide their time until fall camp starts. Either way, it’s an exciting day and this hype video released by the Notre Dame Football Twitter account gets us just a bit more amped up.
