Notre Dame Makes Scholarship Offer to Son of Fighting Irish Great

Bobby Taylor was a star for Notre Dame football in the early 90’s. Almost three decades later the Irish have offered his son a scholarship.

Notre Dame fans of a certain age range (mine included) more than just remember the name Bobby Taylor.  The 1994 consensus First-Team All-American corner helped the Irish was a part of a team that nearly won a national title a year earlier.

After his impressive 1994 season Taylor was selected 50th overall in the 1995 NFL Draft and spent the next nine years with the Philadelphia Eagles before finishing his career in 2005 with the Seattle Seahawks.

Now Notre Dame is looking for their second Bobby Taylor to be a key part of their secondary as they offered his son Bobby a football scholarship on Tuesday.

The younger Taylor is listed at 6-1, 180 pounds and is rated as a top-30 corner in the 2022 recruiting class according to 247Sports.

After playing his freshman year of high school football at Houston Heights, Taylor helped Katy High School to an 11-2 record and Texas 6A D-1 third round playoff appearance as a sophomore.

Notre Dame joins over 20 other programs to have offered Taylor with plenty of the biggest powers including Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and USC.

Notre Dame Football Offers ’21 5-Star Texas Defensive End

Wednesday night saw the Fighting Irish make an offer to one of the most sought-after defensive ends in the country for the 2021 recruiting class.

Brian Kelly spoke ahead of the Camping World Bowl that Notre Dame was ready to start taking an extra step in recruiting. Kelly pretty much stated he saw it as good, but far from elite.

Well, winning the commitment of a new target of the Irish would be a step towards elite.

Wednesday night saw Kelly and the Fighting Irish make an offer to one of the most sought-after defensive ends in the country for the 2021 recruiting class.

Tunmise Adeleye is a five-star defensive end per 247Sports and a four-star by the Rivals rankings and is the latest player to receive a full-ride scholarship offer to Notre Dame.

Whichever the case, both rank him in the top 50 players in the class of 2021 as he checks in at 26 on 247Sports and 43 on Rivals.

Adeleye would be a massive get for the Irish who still have just one defensive commitment in their highly-regarded 2021 class.

As you’d expect, all of the traditional big dogs are in pursuit of Adeleye as the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and plenty of others have already offered the 6-4, 255 pound defensive end.

The Katy, Texas (Hopkins) product has as an impressive amount of highlights just like you’d expect that can be found on his MaxPreps Page.
