See it: Notre Dame Recruiting Commitments Make You Feel Old

From Super Bowl fathers to Notre Dame?

It was two decades ago now that Jerome Bettis and Plaxico Burress were key cogs on the Pittsburgh Steelers offense.  Both would go on to win Super Bowls when they were no longer teammates and both had kids of their own now.

Or I should say, both have kids that are being recruited to play football at Notre Dame now.

Jerome Bettis, Jr., and Elijah Burress are both recruits in the 2025 cycle and are yet to announce commitments to any program.  Both were on Notre Dame’s campus last weekend and seemed to have enjoyed their time.  They even posed for a staged photo together, one Burress posted to social media with a nod to both of their fathers.

No word yet on when either plans to announce their college plans but Notre Dame is clearly a player for both.  The Irish currently have the top-ranked 2025 recruiting class by multiple outlets.

RB Jordan James flips his commitment from Georgia

RB Jordan James flips to Oregon.

The Georgia Bulldogs were hoping to keep a commitment from elite running back recruit Jordan James, who committed to the Bulldogs in March of 2021.

James, a four-star class of 2022 recruit, flipped his commitment from Georgia on Wednesday and signed with the Oregon Ducks. Florida was also in the mix.

The Ducks, who are coached by former Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning, made a strong run to secure a commitment from James. This flip was expected and does not come as a surprise to those who follow recruiting closely. James took visits to Oregon in the month of January, and Georgia made a late push for three-star back Andrew Paul out of Dallas, Texas, who committed to UGA on Wednesday.

James is the No. 192 recruit in the nation and the No. 16 running back, per 247Sports’ composite.
