Over the weekend the Irish added yet another offensive lineman to their 2022 recruiting class, when instate tackle Ashton Craig committed to the Irish.

Due to not being as active on some via social media Craig was a bit of an unknown when he made his pledge to the Irish. Although we were all ecstatic about his commitment, not many of us knew too much about him.

Due to the fact that I recently saw a few of his teammates at the Rise and Fire camp, I was able to connect with Lawrenceburg’s head coach Ryan Knigga. Above is our interview with his head coach’s analysis of what to expect from Craig and more about the newest member of the 2022 Irish recruiting class.

Notre Dame gives offer to offensive tackle recruit Ashton Craig

The Irish are after a recruit who could end up with them or in the Big Ten.

With much of his 2020 unit not returning in 2021, Notre Dame offensive line coach Jeff Quinn has his work cut out for him. He will do everything in his power to keep the Irish’s reputation for churning out quality offensive linemen going for as long as possible. To that end, he has presented an offer to a tackle who would need to wait only a year before arriving in South Bend. This latest target is the 6-foot-5, 260-pound Ashton Craig from Lawrenceburg, Indiana:

Craig is very interested in Notre Dame, but he also is giving serious consideration to numerous Big Ten schools. Namely, he is looking at Michigan, Northwestern, Iowa and Nebraska. Other programs in the running include Duke, Wake Forest, Florida State, Boston College, Purdue, Indiana, Cincinnati and Toledo. Wherever he ends up, he has the body that belongs in college football, and any offense would benefit from having him.
