Five potential 2022 running back targets for Notre Dame

Who will be the second RB in Notre Dame’s 2022 class?

It was back to the drawing board for Notre Dame after they missed out on Pennsylvania running back Nicholas Singleton. It seemed like at one point the talented back was leaning towards the Irish but ultimately, the home state team won out.

With Texas back Jadarian Price already in the fold, Brian Kelly would love to add another prospect to make a pair. Here are five viable running back targets for the Irish.

On to the next one…

Earlier this month, the Irish staff welcomed Tennessee running back Dallan Hayden for a visit. Unfortunately for Notre Dame, we can now take Hayden off the list of potential running backs for the 2022 class as he committed to Ohio State his afternoon.

Hayden wasn’t the only big time running back prospect that the Irish missed out on today, as Colorado back Gavin Sawchuk also made his pledge, as he will head off to Oklahoma.

It now makes much more sense why the Irish are welcoming in running back Xayvion Bradshaw to campus later on this week.

Currently the Irish have a commitment from Texas running back Jadarian Price, but it’s clear they would like to add another prospect along with him.

Hopefully, we can bring you good news later this week after Bradshaw’s visit, as he would be a great addition to the 2022 Notre Dame football recruiting class.

Former NFL running back’s son will visit Notre Dame this week

The bloodlines are quite good with this visitor

There is alway something about second-generation football players that is very appealing to any collegiate program. That’s exactly the case with Xayvion Bradshaw, son of former NFL running back Ahmad, who today announced that he will be visiting South Bend on a official visit later this week.

The Virginia wide receiver plays a different position than his father, but that really doesn’t matter much. At six-feet tall and 170-pounds, the younger Bradshaw already holds offers from Arizona State, Purdue, Virginia, West Virginia and others could also end up on the other side of the ball as a cornerback.

The Irish currently have fifteen commits in the 2022 class, three receivers committed while there is just one defensive back. The versatility that Bradshaw possess would make him a very intriguing prospect if he ends up selecting Notre Dame.

Notre Dame presents offer to receiver recruit Xayvion Bradshaw

Notre Dame could stand to have more options at receiver going forward.

Notre Dame could stand to have more options at receiver going forward. Who knows how differently the 2020 season could have turned out if there was only one elite Irish player there? Del Alexander knows he has a tough task replenishing that position, but that won’t stop him from trying. He hopes he has the opportunity to strike gold after making an offer to Xayvion Bradshaw of Graham in Bluefield, Virginia:

Unlike most other recruits the Irish have offered, Bradshaw has yet to reach double digits in offers. In fact, Notre Dame might be the most prominent school that has expressed real interest in him thus far. Sure, you have schools like Purdue, Arizona State, Virginia, West Virginia and Kansas, but they don’t have anywhere near the history Notre Dame offers. Unless it’s really important for Bradshaw to play close to home, it would be crazy if he didn’t select Notre Dame based strictly on that history and prominence, but stranger things have happened in recruiting.
