Notre Dame found itself a nice asset when Marcus Freeman left Cincinnati to become the Irish’s new defensive coordinator. It turns out the Bearcats, from whom Brian Kelly joined the Irish, are not finished losing personnel to South Bend. Chad Bowden has been the Bearcats’ director of recruiting. Not anymore:

This move represents a shift in Bowden’s thinking. He recently told the Cincinnati Enquirer he was pleased with where he was at and who he was working for (Bearcats coach Luke Fickell). Now, he’s decided a change of scenery is in order. It makes the storyline for when these teams meet Oct. 2 at Notre Dame Stadium all the more intriguing.

Cincinnati also has lost associate head coach and running backs coach Dan Enos to Maryland, where he will be the offensive coordinator. All of this turnover on the coaching staff already has resulted in two de-commitments from the Bearcats. To say this has been a tumultuous month for that program would be an understatement. Alas, there’s no choice but to press on because college football stops for nobody, especially at the highest level.

Notre Dame Football: New Offer Out for ’21 Pennsylvania Safety

6-2, 185 pound safety Donovan McMillon announced his scholarship offer on Twitter, making Notre Dame the 24th different school to extend a scholarship offer his way.

Notre Dame has been getting after it for the 2021 class of late with a run of offers being made near and far.Β  That continued Friday afternoon as Canonsburg, Pennsylvania was the location of their latest scholarship offer to the 2021 recruiting class.

6-2, 185 pound safety Donovan McMillon announced his scholarship offer on Twitter, making Notre Dame the 24th different school to extend a scholarship offer his way.

McMillon of Peters Township High School is listed as a three-star recruit on 247 Sports composite ratings.

Of the 24 schools that have now offered McMillon, Michigan is the most-similar to Notre Dame in terms of their standing in college football.Β  The other bigger schools to have offered are the likes of Purdue, Pitt and West Virginia while a good amount of MAC teams are on the list, as is seemingly solid Cincinnati.

Notre Dame’s offer to McMillon comes less than a week after they received a commitment from 2021 safety Justin Walters of Bolingbrook, Illinois.
