Welcome to August, college football fans. As we await what will happen with is the first Saturday of college football four weeks from now we’ve reached a significant date on the recruiting calendar.

August 1 is the first day that teams can make official, written scholarship offers to players in the 2021 recruiting cycle.

Notre Dame, along with the rest of college football created graphics and sent them to their ’21 pledges to share on social media.

Four-star quarterback Tyler Buchner’s post:

Plenty of the rest of the class of ’21 shared the same personalized posts to acknowledge the official offers.

Notre Dame currently sits with 15 commitments in the ’21 class after tight end Mitchell Evans and running back Logan Diggs both made their announcements this past week.

Irish stay hot on the recruiting trail, add ’21 TE Evans

With Ohio tight end Mitchell Evans committing to Notre Dame today, that makes 4 commits this week for the Irish.

It’s safe to say the Irish are red-hot on the recruiting trail right now. Just this week Brian Kelly and his staff have landed 2021 RB Logan Diggs, class of 2022 offensive tackle Joey Tanona and tight end Jack Nickel. You can now add ’21 tight end Mitchell Evans to the group also.

The Ohio tight end stands 6-foot-7-inches and weighs 240-pounds and the Irish beat out West Virginia, Florida State, Michigan State and others for Evans commitment. By the 247Sports composite, Evans is the 20th tight end nationally and the 435th overall player in the country.

You want to know go good of an athlete Evans is? Just watch his highlight reel above and you see right away what the Irish staff liked about the tight end. The first play Evans lines up a quarterback and takes the snap 50-plus yards for a touchdown. There’s a lot to like about Evans’ game even though he didn’t put up eye-popping stats. The large frame will be a red zone nightmare for opposing defenses.

The commit by Evans is the 15th total commit for the 2021 class, bringing their national ranking to 13th rated by 247Sports. He is the second tight end commit for the Irish in the ’21 cycle joining Georgian Cane Berrong. Kelly and his staff are most likely done at the position as they continue to add premium talent on their way to South Bend.

 

Notre Dame getting creative with recruiting visits

If you’re at all a follower of college football recruiting and of the next batch of Notre Dame players, you’re certainly well-aware of Blake Fisher. Not only is Fisher the top rated player in Indiana for 2021, he’s a top ten offensive tackle …

If you’re at all a follower of college football recruiting and of the next batch of Notre Dame players, you’re certainly well-aware of Blake Fisher.

Not only is Fisher the top rated player in Indiana for 2021, he’s a top ten offensive tackle nationally and hasn’t been shy about trying to recruit more talent to join him in Notre Dame’s 2021 recruiting class.

Saturday saw Fisher take that a step further as he unofficially hosted Notre Dame target, tight end Mitchell Evans of Wadsworth, Ohio.

Current NCAA rules don’t allow for official recruiting visits right now but that doesn’t mean prospects can’t visit campus.

And since coaches can’t meet with players on these campus visits, why not have one of the biggest pieces of the 2021 class give the tour and pitch Notre Dame along the way?

Evans is listed as a three-star tight end and remains uncommitted. He currently has 24 total offers with Notre Dame, Florida State, Michigan State and Pitt leading the way.

Irish included in Ohioan’s Top 10 over weekend

Notre Dame is included in the Top 10 for a very intriguing tight end prospect.

It seems like the Notre Dame staff is looking to add on to the tight end room, the 2021 class already has a commitment from Georgia tight end Cane Berrong and are actively recruiting Ohio TE Mitchell Evans.

This weekend Evans released his Top 10 which included MSU, UVA, FSU and others along with Notre Dame. Evans checks in at 6’7” and 240-pounds which is a very large tight end, he even plays some quarterback for his Wadsworth High School team.

The frame makes me wonder if Evans will actually end up playing tight end at the collegiate level, as his body matures and he adds more weight, the potential for a move to the offensive line increases. There is always a place for athletic offensive tackles in anyone’s locker room. It remains to be seen where Evans will eventually end up, but the Ohioan is more than worth a look at either position and hopefully makes his home for 3-5 years in South Bend.
