Will running back Logan Diggs sign with Notre Dame in February?

The lone committed 2021 recruit who did not sign with Notre Dame in the early period could still end up in the Blue and Gold.

The second and final signing day for the 2021 class is fast approaching, it happens the first Wednesday of February every year. This year it’s the 3rd but since the early signing period has arrived, the majority of prospects sign in mid-December.

Brian Kelly and the Irish signed 26 players and have added a graduate transfer in quarterback Jack Coan. Typically a team can only roster 85 scholarship players, but the NCAA ruled this year would be different due to COVID-19. Players who would have normally exhausted their eligibility after this season, have the option to return. Some players have taken advantage of this, some have not.

The reason why this is important is because recruiting classes could be abnormally larger this cycle. That means that the long unsigned Notre Dame commit, running back Logan Diggs, is still in play.

Recently, his trainer, Albert Brock spoke with 247Sports Kevin Sinclair (insider article) to get a look if the talented Louisiana native was still intending on signing with the Irish. Although Brock did’t give Sinclair a definitive answer, he did give out this nugget: “We actually got on the phone today with coach Kelly and the running backs coach.”

The conversation was more about Diggs skill set and what he has been working on, but it’s still good news for the Irish with holding his commitment. Could he have signed in the early period and just didn’t make it official? Yes, but he could also flip due to the Irish signing another running back, Audric Estime.

Only time will tell if Diggs will sign with the Irish, but if I had to guess at this moment, the answer is yes. Diggs will eventually head up north and play his collegiate football in Notre Dame Stadium.
