Notre Dame does indeed flip former Iowa OL commit after official visit

A fast flip for the Irish

There was plenty of smoke surrounding 2025 in-state offensive lineman [autotag]Cameron Herron[/autotag]’s interest for Notre Dame.

The Indianapolis native committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes in late June of this year, but it didn’t seem like the Irish’s were interested. That all changed as the season began, as the 6-foot, 3-inch and 275-pound lineman made an official visit to South Bend this weekend.

Being on hand for a blowout victory over Stanford showed the nation’s No. 473 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings all he needed, as Herron flipped his commitment to the Irish on Monday morning.

With the in-state star joining Notre Dame’s 2025 class, they now have 22 commits. Herron is the only interior offensive lineman, which fills a need for the Irish. The group is ranked as the No. 13 in the country according to the 247Sports Team Composite Rankings.

Notre Dame’s coaching staff has been working on more than a few other flip candidates as well, so it looks like they aren’t done cooking.

Notre Dame is in great position to flip a Big Ten 2025 in-state commitment

The Irish could soon flip the Big Ten commit

As had been reported late last week, in-state 2025 offensive lineman [autotag]Cameron Herron[/autotag] was taking an official visit to South Bend to see Notre Dame host Stanford.

The Irish are pretty straightforward when it comes to recruiting, when they bring in a local star later in the process, the intentions are simple. Get this young man to stay home and play for the Blue and Gold.

While Herron is committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes, it didn’t stop the 6-foot, 3-inch and 275-pounder to visit his home state school. It seems like the short trip went extremely well, as on Sunday night On3’s Steve Wiltfong put in a prediction for the nation’s No. 473 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings to flip to Notre Dame.

Herron fits everything that the Irish are looking for in a prospect, strong academically (he also has offers from Duke and Northwestern) and athletically. Hopefully the lineman flips his commitment and stays home to play for Notre Dame.

Notre Dame will host in-state offensive lineman committed to Iowa today

A flip candidate is on campus today

Notre Dame football is extremely picky when recruiting inside its home state of Indiana, but it seems like they have found another prospect that fits what they are looking for.

Indianapolis offensive lineman [autotag]Cameron Herron[/autotag], who is currently committed to Iowa, will be on campus for an official visit according to a report by On3’s Steve Wiltfong.

The 6-foot, 3-inch and 275-pound interior lineman is ranked as the country’s No. 473 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. While Herron’s ranking doesn’t seem like it will move the needle, the Hawkeyes, like the Irish, have a great eye for recruiting offensive lineman.

This visit shouldn’t surprise anyone, as the need for an interior lineman in the class is fairly obvious.

The Irish currently have only tackles committed in the 2025 class on the offensive line, so adding a prospect on the inside makes plenty of sense when looking at the construct of the group.

Hopefully Herron, like in-state athlete Brandon Logan, realizes that everything he wants to accomplish at the collegiate level can be done closer to home in South Bend.
