Once again Notre Dame goes out west to California and grabs a big time prospect, this time it’s an addition to the 2023 recruiting class. De La Salle’s tight end Cooper Flanagan made his verbal pledge to the Irish this afternoon, making it the fourth commitment of his class.
Flanagan is the first offensive commitment of the group and obviously won’t be the last, as the six-foot-six-inch and 240-pound pass catcher is a massive target for his quarterbacks. The Irish beat out an impressive group of other schools including Michigan, Florida State, Washington and others for Flanagan’s verbal pledge this afternoon.

De La Salle is the same high school as current Irish player Isaiah Foskey and is traditionally one of the top high school programs in the country. Once again, Brian Kelly has went out to California and successfully recruited one of the best players in the state.
