Stanford statistical leaders through 11 games

The Irish can’t lose to this team, right?

Stanford is trying to salvage something out of its season. Even its win over Coach Prime and Colorado has become lessened by the fact that Buffaloes turned out not to be much better than the Cardinal. A victory over Notre Dame would by far be the signature of their season. That won’t be easy though.

There are a few talented players on the Cardinal, but they only can do so much to make up for their shortcomings. For instance, the offense lives off the pass to the point where the quarterbacks actually are the top rushers. For our purposes though, we’re discounting them in that category for this listicle. That alone should speak volumes about the Cardinal.

It’s no surprise that a team with this many shortcomings has dragged the Irish to the dying Pac-12 Network for its final live football game. If it somehow pulls off the upset, here are the players most likely to factor in:

Four-star running back to announce commitment Thursday

Does he end up Irish?

One of the nation’s top running backs in the 2023 recruiting cycle is set to make his college decision Thursday night on CBS Sports Live.

[autotag]Jayden Limar [/autotag]of Lake Stevens (Wash.) High School has Notre Dame among his four finalists and the Irish seem to be the favorite.  Limar checks in as the nation’s 11th overall running back on 247Sports and has offers from some true powerhouses such as Alabama, Georgia, USC, Texas A&M, Texas, Auburn, and several others.

His finalists however are only Notre Dame, Michigan, Oregon, and in a bit of a surprise, Arizona.

Limar was recently on Notre Dame’s campus for the annual Blue-Gold game.  Notre Dame will be hoping to land the commitment, especially after running back [autotag]Sedrick Irvin, Jr.[/autotag]’s decommitment from the class last week.

Notre Dame close to adding second running back in 2023 class?

Will he end up Irish?

Notre Dame already has a commitment from a running back in the 2023 recruiting class as Sedrick Irvin, Jr, made his decision known back in September of 2021.  A second running back commitment could soon be on the way however.

Jayden Limar of Lake Stevens, Washington announced his final four schools and his decision date on Wednesday and the good news for Notre Dame is that they’re included along with Arizona, Michigan, and Oregon.

Limar, who is rated by 247Sports as a four-star prospect, was last at Notre Dame for the annual blue-gold game in late-April.  He has nearly 20 scholarship offers to date and is rated as one of the best running backs in the west for the 2023 class.

Stay tuned to Fighting Irish Wire as we’ll have more on Limar and everything related to Notre Dame recruiting in the days and weeks to come.

MSU picks up two crystal ball predictions for 4-Star 2023 RB Sedrick Irvin Jr.

Irvin, who is listed at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 8 running back and No. 92 overall prospect in 2023 class

Older Spartan fans remember Sedrick Irvin tearing it up for Michigan State in the late ’90s, and if all goes as a few recruiting analysts are forecasting we could be seeing his son doing the same in a few years.

Michigan State has picked up a pair of crystal ball predictions for 4-star and top 100 2023 running back prospect Sedrick Irvin Jr. from 247Sports recruiting analysts Allen Trieu and Sean Scherer. Irvin, who is the son of former MSU legend Sedrick Irvin, was handed an offer from the Spartans back in August and would be a huge get for Mel Tucker if he eventually picks to play his college ball in East Lansing.

While a pair of analysts currently pegs Michigan State to land Irvin, he is refuting those claims. Irvin, who plays at Gulliver Prep in the Miami area, took to Twitter on Friday to say he’s going to “enjoy the recruiting process” before issuing any kind of top schools list or commit.

Irvin, who is listed at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 8 running back and No. 92 overall prospect in the 2023 class. As you can expect, Irvin has already received numerous scholarship offers from premier programs across the country, including Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Nebraska, Oregon, Penn State and Tennessee.

So what can we make of these early crystal ball predictions? Well, Trieu is normally spot on with his predictions — nearly 95% accurate all-time — so you have to think there’s a reason why he likes Michigan State to land Irvin. Not to mention his father’s ties to the program could lead to an inside track for Irvin. But we also need to keep in mind that it’s still extremely early in the recruiting process, and Irvin has made it clear he’s in no rush to commit. Mix in the fact that it’s only a matter of time before even more programs come calling for his talents so there will only be more and more competition for MSU.

So with that being said, it’s nice to see MSU getting the early nod on Irvin but don’t get too excited as there’s still a long way to go in this recruiting battle. It should be really interesting to see how it all plays out in the next two years.

Michigan State Football offers 4-star RB Sedrick Irvin Jr., son of MSU legend

Michigan State has officially offered a scholarship to Sedrick Irvin Jr., son of MSU legend Sedrick Irvin.

More seasoned Michigan State Football fans still look back fondly on the career of Sedrick Irvin, the Spartan who ran for over 1,000 yards three straight years for MSU from 1996-1998. Now, there is a chance that his extremely talented son could be next in line to don the green and white. On Wednesday, Sedrick Irvin Jr. announced that he has officially been offered by Michigan State.

Irvin Jr., like his father, is a running back, and is currently rated as a 4-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, and the No. 8 ranked rusher in that class by 247Sports. Irvin currently plays for Gulliver Prep in Florida.

The Spartans will face an uphill battle in their pursuit of Irvin’s commitment as he currently has offers out from major players like Georgia, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, and many more, but the connection with his father could give Michigan State an edge on his recruitment.
