Notre Dame has been Tight End U for about as long as tight end has been a position in college football. Whether it be Dave Casper, Mark Bavaro, Ken MacAfree or some of the latest greats like Tyler Eifert, Anthony Fasano, Kyle Rudolph or even Cole Kmet, the position has been nothing short of loaded for Notre Dame for quite some time.
Now 2020 signees Michael Mayer and Kevin Bauman appear to have the position headed for just as strong of near-future.
What about after them?
Brian Kelly and the Fighting Irish staff addressed that Wednesday as they became the 19th different program to offer a scholarship to 6-4, 210 pound tight end Donovan Green of Dickinson, Texas.

247 and Rivals both don’t have a star rating yet for the current high school sophomore but a look at the schools who have offered him tell you he’s a hot commodity. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and Washington are just a handful of the other 18 schools to have offered Green.
6-4, 210 looks monsterous for a high school player but it’s not just his size that sticks out, its his strength as well for a sophomore playing against young men a year or two older than him.

We may not know where Green decides to attend college for literally years but Notre Dame is in and if I’m a top tight end in the country, I certainly couldn’t help but be interested in them.
Stay tuned to Fighting Irish Wire all year long as we’ll continue to keep you updated on all happenings with not just Green but all things Notre Dame and Notre Dame recruiting.
