Two New Notre Dame Football Offers Out Today

The Irish were busy today inside the 2022 class, offering a prospect on each sides of the coast.

It’s been a busy recruiting day for the Irish, not all of the news has been good. Long sought-after North Carolina running back Will Shipley spurned Notre Dame and chose Clemson this afternoon, but that will not deter Brian Kelly and his staff from getting back on the horse.

In a span of about a minute, both class of ’22 stars Domani Jackson of California and Virginia’s Aiden Gobaira tweeted out verbal offers from the Irish staff. Starting with Jackson, the 6’1” and 185-pound corner has a very impressive offer list at this early juncture listing USC, Alabama, Georgia, LSU and a host of others.

Jackson was recently named a 5-Star by Rivals and at this early is wide open in his recruitment. Although he currently resides in California, Jackson is originally from the Midwest, having lived in Ohio, Pennsylvania and then Hawaii before his family settled in California. It has been noted he wouldn’t mind heading back to the area for college and with offers from Ohio State and Michigan it will be a hard-fought recruiting battle with the other Midwestern powers.

Gobaira’s recruitment hasn’t been as crazy as Jackson’s, he reports just a few offers including instate Virginia and Virginia Tech along with Penn State, Vanderbilt and Duke. The sophomore defensive end has a great frame at 6’5” but needs to add serious weight, as he weights just 200 pounds at the moment. Gobaira on projection alone has those offers, just imagine when he fills out and learns better technique. Judging by his offer list, Gobaira won’t have any issues with the rigorous academic Notre Dame schedule either.

It is still very early in both of these recruitment’s, as neither has put out a top list of school yet. A long ways to go for either player, but getting their attention at this early stage of the process can be seen as nothing but a positive sign for Kelly and the Irish.
