Onye gets a three star grade on 247Sports and the 6-5, 245 pound defensive end is listed as the top player in Rhode Island for the entire 2021 recruiting class.
A product of Bishop Henricken High School in Warwick, Onye chose Notre Dame despite having a total of 21 scholarship offers. The likes of Arizona, Boston College, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State, Pitt, Tennessee, Virginia Tech were among those 21.
Onye’s addition brings Notre Dame’s total commitment count to ten and moves them into the eighth spot of 247 Sports team rankings for 2021 recruiting classes.
