Notre Dame players who will not play in Blue-Gold Game

You’re out of luck if you want to see these players in spring action.

The annual Blue-Gold Game is a fantastic experience for Notre Dame fans. It especially is a great opportunity for those who don’t have either the time or the money to get out to Notre Dame Stadium during the season. You get to watch your favorite Irish players in action at a fraction of the cost and without having to navigate through hoards of people whether they’re going to the game or not.

But just like with regular games, there will be players missing. For one reason or another, some of them might be seen on the sidelines but will not see any action. While that might be a disappointment to some people, it’s better to have them sit out now and not when the actual games start.

To save you any confusion and ease any disappointment that might come of these players not participating in the Blue-Gold Game, here they are:

247Sports: Notre Dame in the mix for nations top 2023 offensive tackle

If Freeman and Hiestand pull this one off…. WOW

For many years the Irish held the mantle of [autotag]O-Line U[/autotag] and although recently there has been a slight lull in production, they could very well be taking back the title. On the current roster, three offensive linemen, tackles [autotag]Blake Fisher[/autotag] and [autotag]Joe Alt[/autotag] along with center [autotag]Jarrett Patterson[/autotag] will be drafted high when they declare to the NFL.

Of the 2022 recruiting class, [autotag]Billy Schrauth[/autotag], [autotag]Joey Tanona[/autotag], [autotag]Ty Chan[/autotag] and [autotag]Aamil Wagner[/autotag] were some of the most highly thought of signees, each of them will start their careers on the o-line as well. The 2023 class already has commitments from [autotag]Sullivan Absher[/autotag] and [autotag]Sam Pendleton[/autotag], but [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] is still looking for the headliner of the offensive line.

Enter Massachusetts’ [autotag]Samson Okunlola[/autotag], a six-foot-six-inch and 295-pound future star. He’s viewed as a five-star prospect and 247Sports Brian Dohn believes that the Irish are one of the few teams that realistically have a shot at landing Okunlola’s eventual signature.

It won’t be easy for returning offensive line coach [autotag]Harry Hiestand[/autotag], as Penn State, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Texas A&M, Oregon, Florida, and Pittsburgh were also mentioned as potential destinations for Okunlola as well.

Dohn, however gives the Irish a fighting chance, due to “the academics, the idea of what the degree means on a national level after graduation and playing at a prestigious school are all things that could resonate” with the mammoth tackle. What isn’t in the Irish’s favor however was that Okunlola has very to visit South Bend and didn’t stop by during his spring visit to the Midwest.

As Dohn mentions that Okunlola will take visits later in the year and most likely very few will be during the season due to his high school playing all their games on Saturday’s. Either way, Freeman and Hiestand are in for quite a battle for the tackles eventual signature, but one where they currently are seen as having a legit shot at.

Notre Dame adds another offensive lineman to 2022 recruiting class

Another offensive lineman added to the 2022 Irish recruiting class

The Irish have added another player to their number two rated 2022 recruiting class as Ashton Craig made his pledge yesterday.

The instate tackle is the third commit on the offensive line, following Joey Tanona and Ty Chan. At six-foot-six-inches and 283-pounds, Craig brings a huge frame to the Notre Dame family. He held over 20 other offers, selecting the Irish over the likes of Northwestern, Florida State, Michigan, Baylor and others.

[listicle id=17189]

The pledge by Craig keeps the Irish’s recruiting ranking extremely high, just one spot behind Ohio State for the top overall class in the country according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Stay tuned to Fighting Irish Wire as we will have an exclusive interview with Craig’s Lawrenceburg high school head coach Ryan Knigga in the coming days.

Which 2022 Notre Dame football commits made ESPN’s top 300

How many of the current 11 do you think made it?

The majority of high school football seasons have already been played, a few stragglers still playing right now in the spring but that hasn’t stopped ESPN from updating their top 300 class of 2022 recruits.

[listicle id=17189]

The Irish currently have 11 commits, the class is ranked nationally inside the top 5 so there’s bound to be a few Notre Dame pledges in ESPN’s list. Find out below which one’s are considered among the best players in the country.

Notre Dame Recruiting update plus 2022 offensive wishlist

An update of the latest Notre Dame football recruiting news along with a 2022 offensive wish list.

The Notre Dame 2021 class is pretty much all wrapped up. With 26 players who have signed their letter of intent, Brian Kelly’s class has been pretty much maxed out. Louisiana’s Logan Diggs remains committed, but reading the tea leaves and the class having over the allotted 25 players, it’s doubtful that the running back ends up signing with the Irish on the second signing day, February 3rd.

So the focus has been turned to the 2022 class, which has 4 current commits (offensive linemen Joey Tanona and Ty Chan, safety Nolan Ziegler and tight end Jack Nickel). Let’s take a look at the most recent news on that class along with my personal wishlist of offensive prospects in that class. Next week, I’ll bring you my defensive wish list.

Notre Dame adds outstanding tackle to ’22 class

Notre Dame football landed a huge piece of their future Thursday when offensive tackle Ty Chan announced his commitment. Details here!

Notre Dame landed a big-time commitment for it’s 2022 recruiting class by adding four-star prospect, offensive tackle Ty Chan.

Chan checks in at 6-6, 275 pounds from Lawrence Academy in Massachusetts as O-Line U gets another highly touted prospect.

Chan chose Notre Dame over offers from Boston College, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State, and a handful of others that have already been in pursuit of the high school junior.

Chan announced the news on Twitter Thursday, making him the fourth commitment to Notre Dame’s 2022 recruiting class that sits in the top ten nationally very early on.

Chan joins a class that already features four-star tackle Joey Tanona of Zionsville, Indiana, as the offensive line coach Jeff Quinn has an outstanding start to his 2022 class.

As we close in on national signing day 2021, it’s good to see things taking shape for the next batch of recruits that we’ll be analyzing more thoroughly this coming off-season.

Michigan State Football offers 2022 4-star offensive tackle Ty Chan

The Spartans offered a 6’5″ offensive tackle out of Lawrence Academy.

[jwplayer kHQWEZ2p]

Today marked the first day that all channels of communication were open to Michigan State Football staff members to officially reach out to potential 2022 recruits, and they were certainly very busy. Of the many players they either offered outright or officially expressed interest in, one of the most interesting is Ty Chan, who is the top recruit in the state of Massachusetts for 2022.

Chan is a 6’5″ offensive tackle out of Lawrence Academy, a boarding school in Groton, Massachusetts. 247Sports has him ranked as a 3-star offensive tackle in their internal rankings and a 4-star by their composite rankings.

Chan already has offers out from Penn State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Minnesota, Boston College, Duke, Nebraska, and William & Mary.

Irish out to the east coast for newest ’22 offer

The Notre Dame coaching staff is hard at work with the 2022 recruiting class, offering jumbo athlete Ty Chan this morning.

It seems as if the Notre Dame coaching staff has turned their attention to the 2022 recruiting class, as they have been very busy with prospects on that side of the ball. On Monday, Brian Kelly and his staff offered two quarterbacks in this class and this morning after a talk with offensive line coach Jeff Quinn, an offer went out to Massachusetts’s jumbo athlete Ty Chan.

Chan has a fantastic frame, standing 6-foot-5-inches and weighing 265-pounds, with his versatility being a huge plus. What’s impressive is that Chan looks small and will be able to add more weight while keeping his athleticism. When you recruit a player like Chan, you get him on campus and figure out what position he plays later . With coach Quinn leading the charge on his recruitment, look for Chan to start on the offensive side of the line if he become’s part of the Notre Dame family.

Chan had offers from Nebraska and Penn State prior to getting the Irish offer this morning. Although the state of Massachusetts isn’t a football hotbed, they still produce a decent amount of talent, freshman wide receiver Jay Brunelle hails from the state. Look for Chan’s recruitment to heat up in the coming months.

Right now, Notre Dame has two commits in the ’22 class, instate offensive tackle Joey Tanona and Georgia tight end Jack Nickel. The two of them give the Irish at top 10 class, 8th overall by the 247Sports composite, at this early juncture in the 2022 recruiting cycle.
