Notre Dame football offers 2025 Maryland wide receiver

The Irish enter the mix for the underrated Maryland receiver

Notre Dame football is starting to zero in on recruits they want to add to its top ranked 2025 recruiting class.

One of those prospects is Maryland wide receiver [autotag]Vernon Allen[/autotag], who was offered an Irish scholarship on Friday afternoon. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 185-pound player is ranked as the country’s No. 87 receiver and 610th overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Allen’s ranking is a bit low, but his offer list shows that he probably should be ranked higher as the Irish joined Michigan, Penn State, Florida and others in the pursuit to sign him. Clearly he has great size for the position.

Notre Dame has 14 total commitments in its 2025 class, but no wide receivers at the moment.

Michigan football offers 3-star 2025 WR from Baltimore

This dude’s film will have you salivating about his potential. #GoBlue

While Michigan football continues to dominate in the 2024 recruiting sphere, the coaches are working to get a jumpstart on the 2025 class, extending offers to promising, young prospects.

One 2025 prospect that’s getting some attention along the Eastern seaboard is Baltimore (Md.) City College three-star wide receiver Vernon Allen. He’s got offers from Boston College, Charlotte, Duke, North Carolina, Old Dominion, and Virginia Tech. Coming in at 6-foot-3, 185-pounds, Allen certainly already has requisite size despite being just a high school sophomore. That’s apparently intrigued the Michigan football staff, as Allen took to Twitter to report he now has an offer from the Wolverines.

247Sports is the only service that currently has him ranked. He’s currently listed as the No. 47 wide receiver in 2025 and the 17th-best player in the state of Maryland.

Judging by his film, Allen has the size and ball skills to be able to go up and make a play one-on-one but also has enough speed and elusiveness to be utilized in the short passing game.
