Notre Dame Commitment Card: Jaylen Sneed

Learn more about Notre Dame’s newest linebacker

Notre Dame wasn’t able to hold onto every 2022 recruiting class commitment after the sudden departure of Brian Kelly from the program just a few short weeks ago but they held onto the majority as the early signing period began on Wednesday.

Notre Dame’s advanced media team knocked it out of the park with their videos of each player this year as cameos are made from former Notre Dame star football players, professional wrestlers, reality TV personalities, and plenty more.

Here are some fast-facts about prized linebacker Jaylen Sneed, who was the first new Notre Dame player to send his national letter of intent in on Wednesday:

Name: Jaylen Sneed
Position: Linebacker
High School: Hilton Head (South Carolina)
Size: 6-2, 210-pounds
Stars:  Four-stars on both 247Sports and Rivals
Original Commitment Date: July 12, 2021

Elite linebacker to announce college decision Wednesday night

Will this Indiana high school star stay in his home state or head south?

Five-star linebacker Drayk Bowen of Merrillville, Indiana is set to announce his college decision on Wednesday night as Auburn, Clemson, and Notre Dame are his three finalists.

Bowen is listed as the second overall linebacker in the 2023 recruiting class by 247Sports composite, the best player from Indiana, and the 28th ranked recruit nationally.

This would be a huge get for Notre Dame as the Irish already have a nice base for 2023 with five-star defensive end Brenan Vernon and four-star defensive end Keon Keeley already both committed.

Will it be Notre Dame’s hat that Bowen puts on tonight?  Marcus Freeman and company certainly hope so as Bowen would be next in a line of great linebackers to come through South Bend.

Here is what Bowen recently said about Notre Dame:

“It’s close to home and they had done baseball and football before many times. Academics are very important to me, and it’s ‘Ivy League degree’ with ACC athletics so that was a big thing for me.”

His highlights below look like what you think those of a five-star talent would look like when playing against normal high schoolers.

Bowen will announce his decision at 9 p.m. ET on CBS Sports HQ.

Wisconsin football made the top three for 2022 four-star defensive tackle K.J. Miles, who listed the Badgers alongside Georgia Tech and Texas as his top three teams on Wednesday via his Twitter.

The Jersey City, New Jersey, native is ranked as the No. 31 defensive tackle in the country and No. 4 player in New Jersey by 247Sports. Last week, Wisconsin also received two crystal ball predictions from 247Sports to land Miles. The four-star recruit has starred the last few seasons for St. Peters Prep in New Jersey.

Since Wisconsin is now in Miles’ top three and has two crystal ball predictions, it looks like the Badgers are leading the way in landing the 2022 defensive tackle.

Defensive end Kofi Wardlow appears to have played football for Notre Dame for the final time as the senior entered the transfer portal on Tuesday.

Wardlow took to social media to announce his decision on Tuesday.

Wardlow came to Notre Dame as a member of the 2017 recruiting class out of Washington, DC.  He spent spent time on the scout team in 2017 before seeing action in the Virginia Tech game a year later.

Wardlow appeared in the New Mexico and Boston College games in 2019, recording one career tackle along the way.

All the best to Wardlow as he’s set to graduate this fall and have two years of eligibility remaining wherever he may end up next.
