Another quarterback domino fell yesterday as Clemson received a commitment from Texas quarterback Cade Klubnik. Alabama recently receiver a commitment from Tennessee’s Ty Simpson, who considered the Irish but ultimately choose between the Tiger and Crimson Tide. The other 2020 College Football Playoff participant Ohio State, they have a commit from Texas’ Quinn Ewers, the top rated player in the nation. All three of them are considered top-100 prospects.

Notre Dame, well, they’ve yet to grab a quarterback in their 2022 class and their options are dwindling down. According to the 247Sports composite rankings, the top 8 quarterback have now committed, but this doesn’t mean doom and gloom for the Irish.
Kentucky’s Gavin Wimsatt, who holds an Irish offer, is very high on Notre Dame and are viewed as one of the favorites to land his commitment. He’s considered to be a top-100 prospect.

Ohio’s Drew Allar, was offered by Brian Kelly and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees last week. Allar likes the Irish along with Penn State, who recently saw 247Sports director of recruiting, Steve Wiltfong, place a prediction for Allar to end up committing to the Nittany Lions. It looks like Notre Dame has some catching up to do with Allar.

The third option at the moment is New Jersey’s Steve Angeli, who is also extremely high on the Irish. Angeli’s courtship with Notre Dame has been going on for a while, as the offer to him went out in August of last year, the same day as Wimsatt received his. All 6 of the crystal ball predictions logged for Angeli have him ending up in South Bend.

I really like Angeli, I believe he has a bright future, but he isn’t my first choice, Wimsatt is. I would love to see Kelly and Rees put the full-court recruiting press on the Kentuckian and see where that takes them. If it doesn’t work out, Angeli would be a great consolation prize.

With the cycle being still in it’s early stages, there is some worry that the Irish will get left behind and not have one of their top choices end up in South Bend. Don’t get caught up in that, the Irish are fine and will get a very good quarterback prospect in this class.
