Tomorrow 247Sports will release their final update to the 2020 recruiting class rankings, re-ranking the top 247 players in the country. At the current moment, the Fighting Irish have the #14 ranked class nationally according to the 247Sports composite, which complies the rankings of major recruiting services such as Rivals, ESPN, and their own. You can see their team rankings right here.
With just 17 commits in the 2020 class after the release of Landen Bartleson, all of them having signed in the early period, there might not be much room for Brian Kelly to add any prospects. There are currently 88 players on scholarship, the max being 85, so with the NFL declaration deadline having passed and without players entering the transfer portal, Kelly does not have much wiggle room to add any new prospects.
So, prior to 247Sport’s release of their updated top 247, which can be seen here, this is where the currently signed Irish class is ranked who are ranked inside the top 247 players in the country:
ILB Jordan Botelho – 43
OT Tosh Baker – 44
RB Chris Tyree – 61
WR Jordan Johnson – 63
TE Michael Mayer – 69
OT Michael Carmondy – 109
