Two offers out so far on Notre Dame’s Junior Day

One offer out to a prospect in the 2021 and 2022 class so far today in Notre Dame’s Junior Day.

As reported earlier today, at least a dozen high school prospects are in South Bend today for the first Junior Day of the year. Brian Kelly has been busy, offering two new prospects, as of this moment on their visit. The first was class of 2022 WR Kaden Saunders from Ohio.

Saunders, checks in at five-foot-ten and weighing 165 pounds, already holds offers form Penn State, Michigan, Minnesota and others. Saunders has been to PSU multiple times, so one would assume that the Nittany Lions are his leader, but this offer by the Irish and WR coach Del Alexander should give the talented wide out plenty to think about.

Saunders is electric with the ball in his hands, as this short clip shows his elusiveness. The two-sport athlete, also plays baseball for his Westerville South team, would be a welcome addition to the 2022 Irish class.

The other prospect to add an offer today was ’21 DC defensive end Colin Mobley. Mobley plays for DeMatha Catholic, a powerhouse program in the nation’s capital that produced names like Ohio State’s Chase Young and current PSU DE Coziah Izzard, is an imposing figure at such a young age, standing six-foot-four and weighing 245 pounds.

Mobley has some impressive offers to date, with LSU, Ohio State, Penn State, Texas A&M, Michigan among his best. There are never enough talented defensive ends on a roster, which is why the Irish have sent out offers to many of them the past few weeks.

Mobley highlights can be seen here as he plays the run as well as he rushes the passer, it’s clear the DeMatha staff has taught the young man some very solid technique. An ends job is more than just getting to the quarterback, setting the edge is just as important, Mobley being a perfect example of this early in his playing career.

So far this Irish Junior Day has been going in the right direction, offers two very talented players while on campus, in hopes to getting a commitment and signature in the near future.
