Notre Dame adds yet another star to 2023 recruiting class

Who is the Notre Dame corner you were most excited about when they committed to the Irish?

Notre Dame has been trying to put the finishing touches on their 2022 recruiting class in recent days as the early signing period is now just days away.  That doesn’t mean they haven’t been hard at work beyond 2022 however as the Irish received another significant commitment in next year’s class over the weekend.

Justyn Rhett is a 6-1, 192-pound cornerback from powerhouse Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas and committed to Notre Dame over the weekend.  Rhett is listed by 247Sports as the 10th best corner nationally in the 2023 class and 101st player overall.

Rhett and Bishop Gorman are fresh off another Class 5A Nevada state championship, the program’s 11th in the last 13 years.  If the high school sounds familiar for Notre Dame fans it may be because it’s produced a handful of Fighting Irish players in recent years such as Ronnie Stanley, Alize Mack, and Nicco Fertitta.

Rhett becomes the seventh commitment in Notre Dame’s 2023 class and chose the Irish over Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, and USC.

Tigers among top schools for top CB out of Nevada.

It has been relatively quiet on the LSU Tigers recruiting front outside of Aaron Anderson’s decommitment. Not exactly surprising with everyone waiting to see who will be the next head coach of the Bayou Bengals.

LSU is fortunate that oftentimes the football program recruits itself. Recently 2023 four-star cornerback Justyn Rhett released his top schools in the running for his pledge. In the SEC it is down to LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.

Early returns believe that Notre Dame has the edge on his recruitment, but depending on who gets hired in Baton Rouge, it could change in an instant. Rhett is rated as the No. 1 player in the state of Nevada and No. 7 cornerback in the country.
