Five commits, all on the list
The Irish are off to another great start in their 2024 recruiting class, with five total commits at the time of this publishing. What’s impressive is that each of those verbals are ranked inside ESPN’s Junior 300. Find out below where each of them is ranked.

The Irish are getting a very good one!
The Irish scored a massive recruiting win when Illinois 2024 wide receiver Cam Williams verbally pledged to Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame. Having known Williams since his freshman year, I wanted to bring you a bit of insight into his recruitment and process. Here is an interview I had with Williams regarding his Notre Dame commitment.

The No. 9 receiver in the class of 2024 committed to Notre Dame on Wednesday night:
On Wednesday night, four-star 2024 wide receiver Cam Williams announced his commitment live with his five finalist schools including Notre Dame, Iowa, Michigan, Cincinnati and Wisconsin.

Unfortunately for the Badgers, they were not able to flip the Glen Ellyn, Ill., native, and Williams went with his Crystal Ball predictions and committed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The No. 19-ranked receiver in the class of 2024 per 247Sports Composite would have been a huge pick-up for the Badgers, but it was a long shot with more passing-minded programs in his top five.
Losing Williams and 2024 QB target Lincoln Kienholz in one day is definitely defeating for Wisconsin’s recruiting, but the Badgers still have time to make a splash in the class of 2024.

This may or may not be a shameless plug for one of our writers’ high school.
This is a real privilege for me. My high school doesn’t have that rich of a football history, but often times, a player will have the opportunity to play at a prominent school. That’s how it is at Glenbard South in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. One of those opportunities has come along, and every Raider, myself included, should be proud of the fact that four-star receiver [autotag]Cam Williams [/autotag]has selected Notre Dame.
Williams, a 2024 recruit, picked the Irish over Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and Cincinnati, all of which made the final cut. Our own Michael Chen has seen Williams in person and provided a good scouting report on him. Me? I’m just thrilled that someone from my old stomping grounds is taking his talents to South Bend, so forgive my celebratory mood in this post.
You all should know that I found out this news on a Facebook post from Dave Key, who is the biggest Glenbard South athletics fan who has ever lived. Nobody bleeds Raider red, white and blue like him, and he is known to attend games for any college football player who passed through the school. When Williams has his first game at Notre Dame Stadium, he needs to be there, too. So if anyone has an extra ticket for the Irish’s 2024 home opener against Northern Illinois, have a heart and give it to him.

Will the Irish be happy tomorrow?
The time has come for suburban Chicago wide receiver [autotag]Cam Williams[/autotag] to make his verbal pledge. Having known Williams since his freshman year, I can attest that his skill level is high and will be an impact player at the next level.
Not only have I seen Williams in camp settings, but also in-game where his skill set really shined. An extremely smooth route running, with great hands and body control, the six-foot-two-inch receiver will be an asset for either Iowa, Wisconsin, Cincinnati, Michigan or Notre Dame. Williams will go live on CBS Sports HQ to announce his verbal pledge, at 8:00pm EST.
4⭐️ WR Cam Williams out of Glen Ellyn (Ill.) will make his college commitment LIVE on @CBSSportsHQ tomorrow 👀
Where do y'all think it will be ⁉️

Wisconsin makes the top five for the No. 21 wide receiver in the class of 2024:
On Wednesday afternoon, four-star 2024 wide receiver Cam Williams announced on Twitter his commitment date along with his five finalist schools.
Related: Wisconsin lands a commitment from 2023 four-star CB Jace Arnold
The Badgers made the cut for the No. 21 WR in the class of 2024 per 247Sports Composite, along with Notre Dame, Iowa, Michigan and Cincinnati. Unfortunately for Wisconsin, there are already four 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions for Williams to land with the Fighting Irish when he makes his decision next Wednesday.
The six-foot-two-inch receiver from Illinois would be a huge pickup for Wisconsin in the class of 2024, but it looks it will be an uphill battle to persuade him to choose the Badgers.

The offers are starting to pick up for this Midwest star
The Irish have a very firm grasp of which prospects in the Midwest will be future stars. They offered one of them earlier today, as Illinois wide receiver Cam Williams was given a verbal scholarship after a call from offensive coordinator Tommy Rees.
I have seen Williams live since his freshman year and he impressed me then. Later seeing him during his sophomore campaign at Glenbard South and it just confirmed what I saw during the camp, with pads on Williams is a high level prospect. Standing at six-foot-two-inches and 180-pounds, the rising junior glides across the field and is a precision route runner.
After a great conversation with @T_Rees11 I am blessed to receive an offer from The University of Notre Dame!! @ChansiStuckey @coachdmc @coachdrebrown @NDFootball @GlenbardSouthFB @Rivals_Clint @BlairRIVALS @AllenTrieu @PrepRedzoneIL pic.twitter.com/es5dq0PKUp

He grabbed an offer from Iowa during his freshman year and Williams has not stopped since then. Currently holding other offers from Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue, Missouri and others, recruiting is starting to heat up for Williams.

Massive haul by Steve Sarkisian and his staff.
This offseason will likely go down as one of the wildest recruiting cycles in the history of college football. Continue reading “Each commitment that Texas football has landed over the span of three days”
BOOM! The flood gates are opening for the Texas offensive line recruiting.
The University of Miami did Texas a huge favor by hiring Mario Cristobal away from Oregon.
Cristobal’s departure gave Texas another chance at a couple of offensive linemen that they had previously committed to the Ducks.
Texas and Kyle Flood have capitalized on their second chance after closing on five-star offensive lineman Kelvin Banks on Saturday, and now landing another former Oregon commit, Cam Williams.
BREAKING: Four-Star OT Cameron Williams has Committed to Texas, he tells @On3Recruits
The 6’7 360 OT from Duncanville, TX decommitted from Oregon last week and chose the Longhorns over Miami

Williams is a three-star prospect ranked as the No. 39 offensive tackle in the nation by 247Sports. The 6-foot-7, 360-pound Duncanville product committed to the Horns over Oregon, Miami and Oklahoma.
Closing this class strong is vital as Texas needs help on the line of scrimmage in a major way. High-priority targets Devon Campbell, Malik Agbo and Kam Dewberry are still on the board.
Texas has the No. 6 recruiting class in the nation with a little less than a week away from early signing day.

ANOTHER talented offensive lineman announced he will be in attendance for the Kansas game.
The guest list for the matchup against Kansas is growing larger by the second. Literally.
The Longhorns are expecting to host close to 10 elite prospects for their game against Kansas, and that number continues to rise after offensive lineman and current Oregon Commit Cameron Williams announced he will join the party.
Huge offensive line recruiting weekend for the #Longhorns just got bigger.

Texas’ offensive line is one of the worst groups in the nation, and they are hoping to revamp it with some of the top offensive line talent that will be in attendance this weekend.
With Williams’ announcement, he joins five-stars Devon Campbell and Kelvin Banks, and four-star Kam Dewberry as the offensive line recruits that will be attending the Texas-Kansas game. It would be a miracle to land all four of these prospects, especially considering Banks is a current pledge to Oregon as well.
However, the Texas staff must be doing something right in getting them to visit, although getting the top talent to campus is only half the battle. Kyle Flood cannot have a Brockermeyer twins type of result where he strikes out on all of them.
The Longhorns very much need to end this pathetic losing streak, and Kansas is the best team to do that against. At the same time, the coaches also need to impress the recruits in attendance to bolster their 2022 class, which only holds two offensive lineman commits at the moment.
