Even though the NCAA is seemingly trending towards ending the dead period after it’s latest extension to May 31st, the Notre Dame coaching staff still is full steam with virtual visits. A big one happened yesterday as 2022 Connecticut native Tyler Booker checked in via Zoom with the Irish coaches.

Booker currently plays for IMG Academy, which has more than a few Notre Dame targets prepping there. He’s seen as a lineman that could play on the defensive line, but has more upside on the offensive line.

His recruitment should be seen as a very tough battle, as Booker holds offers from the SEC powers (Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Florida) the Big Ten’s (Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan) along with Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, USC and a host of others schools vying for his commitment.
Although getting Booker to virtually visit with the Notre Dame staff is a step in the right direction, the next step would be to lock him into scheduling an official visit. If he does just that, then the Irish are squarely in the mix for Booker’s signature.
