Notre Dame Football: Another Day, Another 2021 Defensive Line Offer Made

Wednesday brought Notre Dame defensive line coach Mike Elston and head coach Brian Kelly extending another offer for the 2021 class.

Yesterday we saw Notre Dame make four different offers to 2021 prospects, all of which play on the defensive line and who come from the state of Georgia.

Wednesday brought Notre Dame defensive line coach Mike Elston and head coach Brian Kelly extending another offer for the 2021 class.

It just didn’t happen to come from Georgia for a change.

Three-star defensive end Keeshawn Silver announced on Twitter that the Fighting Irish offered him a scholarship Wednesday, becoming the 22nd program to do so.

Silver hails from Rocky Mount, North Carolina and plays strong side defensive end.  Notre Dame joins several big-time programs in offering a scholarship including but not limited to: Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Silver has announced on his personal Twitter page that he will announce his top schools on February 21.  He is also listed on 247Sports as having made unofficial visits to North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Florida, Charlotte and Duke.

Notre Dame Football Offers ‘22 OLB Jaishawn Barham

Jaishawn Barham of DeMatha Catholic in Maryland announced a scholarship offer.

Early on Monday we learned that Notre Dame had offered a scholarship to 2022 outside linebacker Gabe Powers of Ohio, which we discussed on FIW.

As it turns out, Powers wasn’t the only outside linebacker to receive an offer from Brian Kelly and company on Monday as Jaishawn Barham of DeMatha Catholic in Maryland announced a scholarship offer.

Barham is listed a little thicker than Powers but not quite as tall, coming in at 6-3, 230 pounds per 247Sports.

Notre Dame is the 15th scholarship offer Barham has received as the Irish join Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Virginia, Virginia Tech and a few others to offer.

Barham is the eleventh player Notre Dame has offered a scholarship to in the 2022 recruiting class.

Notre Dame Offers 2021 3-Star Georgia Safety

Slocum is currently rated as the 17th best safety in the 2021 recruiting class by 247Sports and the 35th best player in Georgia.

The season may be over but the building for the future of Notre Dame football continues on the recruiting trail.

Currently ranked second by Rivals in the 2021 team recruiting rankings, Brian Kelly and his Fighting Irish coaching staff made an offer Monday to a safety who could potentially help that number.

Jaden Slocum, a 6-2, 181 pound safety from Alpharetta, Georgia tweeted Monday night that he had received a scholarship offer from Kelly and Notre Dame.

Slocum is currently rated as the 17th best safety in the 2021 recruiting class by 247Sports and the 35th best player in Georgia.

He already holds scholarship offers from Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Minnesota, Mississippi State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.

Georgia football in four-star CB Jason Marshall’s top schools

The Georgia Bulldogs, Florida, LSU, Alabama, and a trio of ACC schools made Jason Marshall’s top schools.

The Georgia Bulldogs and six SEC and ACC schools are in Jason Marshall’s top schools. Marshall is a four-star cornerback and is in the class of 2021. He has coveted height at 6-2 and plays high school football at Miami Palmetto in Miami, Florida.

Marshall announced his top schools via his Twitter:

UGA already has a talented corner prospect in the class of 2021 in David Daniel. Marshall is considering UGA, Florida, LSU, Alabama, Miami, Clemson, and Florida State. Marshall is considered a top-five cornerback in his class.

The way recent recruiting in Florida has been going, these seven schools are the ones competing the hardest for prospects in the state. Georgia, Clemson, and Alabama have tied down roots into Florida’s rich pool of talent. This has resulted in the recent swing in power away from Miami, FSU, and Florida.

Former Georgia commit chooses Bulldog rival

Former Georgia football commit chose to commit to the Florida Gators.

This week, Georgia suffered its first de-commitment since the departure of offensive line coach Sam Pittman to Arkansas.

2020 4-star offensive tackle Josh Braun, who de-committed from Georgia, has chosen to commit to the Florida Gators.

Braun ranks as the nation’s No. 285 overall player, No. 22 offensive tackle and 49th player in the state of Florida.

Georgia now has the nation’s eighth ranked class for 2020 and will need to turn on the burners down the stretch to land a top-five class.

Florida has passed the Dawgs and sits at No. 6 in the nation after the commitment of Braun.

Braun, out of Suwanee High School in Live Oak, Florida, was one of five commitments Pittman had secured on the offensive line.

Despite the decommitment, Georgia is still in good shape with four offensive linemen committed in the class of 2020.

Georgia loses commitment from 4-star OT – Trending toward Florida?

Georgia football lost a commitment from a 4-star offensive tackle on Wednesday.

Georgia has now suffered its first de-commitment since the departure of offensive line coach Sam Pittman to Arkansas.

2020 4-star offensive tackle Josh Braun has backed off his commitment from Georgia and appears to be trending toward Florida, according to 247Sports’ Crystal Ball.

“I have taken a step back from my commitment and am reassessing my recruitment,” Braun told 247Sports. “I committed to play under Coach Pittman, since he left my commitment is void.”

Braun ranks as the nation’s No. 285 overall player, No. 22 offensive tackle and 49th player in the state of Florida.

Braun, out of Suwanee High School in Live Oak, Florida, was one of five commitments Pittman had secured on the offensive line.

Despite the decommitment, Georgia is still in good shape with four offensive linemen committed in the class of 2020.

After the recent hiring of Ole Miss head coach Matt Luke to fill Pittman’s position in Georgia, I would expect Georgia to reel in a couple more commitments on the line. And given the relationship Pittman built with Georgia’s current commits, it would not come as a shock to see another one back off of his commitment to the Dawgs.

The Dawgs will be fine.
