Notre Dame Football: Meet the 2021 Recruiting Commitments

Find out more about Notre Dame’s stars of tomorrow right here in the 2021 recruiting class commitments!

Notre Dame had big dreams of their 2021 recruiting class and despite not hitting a home run on their most desired playmaker and one of the nation’s top receivers dropping his commitment, the Fighting Irish still stand in pretty good shape.

The Irish have 20 commitments in the 2021 class and are ranked 11th nationally according to 247Sports. Although it’s not what Brian Kelly had in mind when he stated his goal was to land a class in the top five, it’s one with a bunch of high-side potential players who offer a lot of versatility where they can line up.

Here are the commitments in Notre Dame’s 2021 recruiting class. Be sure to check back often and see who has been added or removed themselves from the list.

Notre Dame Football: WR commit Styles to play on ESPN2 Sunday

Lorenzo Styles, Jr. is one of Notre Dame’s biggest commits in the 2021 recruiting class. Watch him play Sunday on ESPN2. Details here.

Lorenzo Styles, Jr. of Pickerington, Ohio is a four-star wide receiver in Notre Dame’s 2021 recruiting class.

Styles committed to Notre Dame last October during the USC weekend and remains one of the biggest recruits in the now 18 person class for the Fighting Irish.

Styles and his Pickerington Central team will be on ESPN 2 on Sunday as they take on Pickerington North at 12 p.m. ET.

You won’t see Styles only playing offense however as he also stars on Central’s defense both as a safety and as a corner.

The 247Sports Composite Rankings list Styles as the 20th best receiver in the nation in 2021’s class and put him as the fifth best player in Ohio as well.

By Chance, Notre Dame Lands 13th ’21 Commitment

Tucker joins four-star corner Philip Riley, three-star corner Ryane Barnes and three-star safety Justin Walters in the defensive backfield of Notre Dame’s 2021 class.

Make it a lucky 13 for Notre Dame’s 2021 recruiting class as they landed a commitment from three-star corner Chance Tucker on Wednesday.

The Encino, California (Crespi) star has a three-star grade from both 247Sports and Rivals.  The latest Notre Dame commitment picked the Irish over his other finalist, Washington.

It’s another win for new defensive backs coach Mike Mickens who has made an impact early in his tenure as he’s now landed commitments from three defensive backs in the ’21 class.

Tucker joins four-star corner Philip Riley, three-star corner Ryane Barnes and three-star safety Justin Walters in the defensive backfield of Notre Dame’s 2021 class.

247Sports ranks Tucker as the 77th overall corner in this class.  The high school senior recorded 58 tackles, 10 pass breakups, three interceptions and a blocked field goal in 13 games last fall.  He also added 13 receptions for 176 yards and a pair of scores offensively.

Tucker unofficially visited Notre Dame during Independence Day weekend and despite not having the traditional official visit, it appears to have made enough of a positive impact on Tucker.

Notre Dame Football: Three-Star Ramon Henderson Rounds Out Class for Irish

Braden Lenzy’s fastest time ever recorded in the 100 meter dash is 10.82 seconds.  Not at all shabby and quick enough to make him the fastest man almost anytime he steps onto a football field.

That is unless Henderson is there, as Henderson has gone 10.59 seconds in the 100 before.

Notre Dame entered Wednesday’s first National Signing Day knowing they’d likely have at least 17 high school seniors sign their National Letters of Intent and become the newest members of the Fighting Irish football team.

There was some optimism that number could grow slightly higher and it eventually did as early Wednesday afternoon Ramon Henderson signed his NLI and became the final player in Notre Dame’s 2020 recruiting class to sign.

Henderson is listed as an athlete in most places but figures to fit into Notre Dame’s mix in the defensive backfield.

The Liberty High School product from Bakersfield, California chose Notre Dame over Utah and Oklahoma who were both in pursuit of his services.

Henderson is listed at 6-2 and 183 pounds and is blessed with truly elite speed.

How fast are we talking?

Braden Lenzy’s fastest time ever recorded in the 100 meter dash is 10.82 seconds.  Not at all shabby and quick enough to make him the fastest man almost anytime he steps onto a football field.

That is unless Henderson is there, as Henderson has gone 10.59 seconds in the 100 before.

Henderson was ranked as the 23rd best player in California by Rivals.
