Tuesday saw the release of the latest Rivals 100 list, ranking the top 100 prospects in the Class of 2021.
What was already viewed as a top class received further validation as the five Notre Dame commitments was the most of any school besides Ohio State who also had five.
Here’s how a few future members of the Fighting Irish Football team ranked:
Offensive tackle Blake Fisher of Avon, Michigan was the highest ranked Notre Dame commitment, checking in at 18.
The 6’6″, 330 pounder also checks in as the highest rated player from Michigan in 2021.
Lorenzo Styles, Jr. checks in at 34 overall and is the fourth highest rated receiver.
Styles committed to Notre Dame after making an official visit on USC weekend this last October and ranks as the second highest player for 2021 from the state of Ohio.
Quarterback Tyler Buchner of La Jolla, California sky-rocketed in these rankings moving up 23 spots to 42nd overall. Injuries kept Buchner from the field his sophomore but he wasted no time showing off his stardom this fall, leading his team to a state finals appearance.
Buchner had an insane performance in that game despite a loss and remains listed as a “pro style” quarterback – something you may question if you’re to watch any highlights.
Athlete Deion Colzie of Athens, Georgia also soared in these latest rankings, up 23 spots this time to 72.

The 6’4″ Colzie figures to be a favorite target of Buchner’s in the future.
Finally defensive tackle Gabriel Rubio came in at 95, down nine spots from his previous ranking.
Rubio, of St. Peters, Missouri is the only committed defensive player in Notre Dame’s 2021 recruiting class.
Although early, Notre Dame’s hot start on the recruiting trail has them currently sitting atop the 2021 recruiting rankings.
