Some days news seemingly comes out of nowhere and takes over the course of a morning or afternoon.
Notre Dame’s defensive line coach Mike Elston marching through the state of Georgia and leaving scholarships throughout his wake made that the story of the day for Notre Dame football.
Early Tuesday we found out that Notre Dame had offered Douglas County defensive linemen Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Jefferson scholarships.
Usually that would be an extremely newsworthy day for Notre Dame. However, that was just the tip of the iceberg in what the Irish had up their sleeve in the Peach State Tuesday.
Noah Collins later announced on Twitter that he had also received a scholarship offer, making it three on the day the Irish had offered.
That still wasn’t it as about an hour later Victoine Brown announced that he had also received a scholarship offer from Notre Dame.
We think that is it but then again there are still seven or so hours left in the day.
It’s impressive and I think it accomplishes a couple of things for Notre Dame in this 2021 class.
It’s already an impressive class being formed in terms of offensive talent but with just one player on the defensive side of the ball, clearly there is work to do. These four offers guarantee nothing but appear to be four players in high-demand nationwide.
The other thing it does is creates a stir around Notre Dame football in a place where it isn’t usually easy to do such a thing. Right in the heart of SEC and University of Georgia territory, Notre Dame goes and makes four scholarship offers right in a row.
All four may one day wear blue and gold for the Fighting Irish (fat chance but sure, it’s possible!) but by all four announcing their offers today it creates a much different type of interest in Notre Dame’s 2021 recruiting class to other recruits, especially in a place that it’s hard to go into and snag talent from.
