6'3" 220 pounds

4-star, No. 7 outside linebacker, No. 40 nationally

Recently offered following Davonte Neal's signing with Notre Dame. He has legit interest in the Irish and are in his top five. Really liked his visit to Notre Dame. Named a top three of Arizona State, Arkansas, and Notre Dame.

Tons of offers and has visited a lot of schools unofficially already. Florida State and Michigan seem to be the major players.

Hutchings_medium Michael Hutchings- Concord, California (De La Salle)

6'2" 210 pounds

4-star, No. 4 outside linebacker, No. 17 nationally

Super diverse collection of elite offers. Likes the top Pac-12 schools (USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington) but also has Notre Dame in the mix. Could be a difficult pull out of California.

6'1" 222 pounds

3-star, No. 29 outside linebacker

Growing offer list that includes MSU, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Pitt, and USC. Thought to be a strong lean towards the Buckeyes.

3-star, No. 22 outside linebacker

Offered in early April by Notre Dame. Carrying a ton of offers so far. Florida State, South Carolina, and Georgia are his favorites at the moment.

Mid-April offer from Notre Dame. Very solid offer list with Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Oklahoma, and South Carolina among his choices. Considered a possible Maryland or Auburn lean.

No offer but high interest:

DEFENSIVE BACK (20)

Hot_medium

Tre_bell_medium Tre Bell- Jersey City, New Jersey (St. Peter's Prep)

5'11" 170 pounds

3-star, No. 30 corner

Excited by the recent offer from Notre Dame. Really solid offer list and will decide before his senior season. Had a great visit for Junior Day but has other visits and won't verbal right away. Possibly a Notre Dame lean right now. *FLORIDA VERBAL*

Devin_butler_medium Devin Butler- Washington, D.C. (Gonzaga) *NOTRE DAME VERBAL*

6'1" 170 pounds

3-star, No. 24 corner

Antwuan_davis_medium Antwuan Davis- Bastrop, Texas (Bastrop)

6'0" 180 pounds

4-star, No. 14 corner, No. 181 nationally

Offered by Kerry Cooks but will be a tough pull out of the Lonestar state. Offered by some heavyweights in Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, and Texas A&M. On campus the weekend of April 13th.

Mcquay_medium Leon McQuay III- Seffner, Florida (Armwood)

6'2" 177 pounds

4-star, No. 3 safety, No. 32 nationally

Legit interest in Notre Dame. Also adds Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Miami as his favorites. Considered a strong Vanderbilt lean.

6'0" 185 pounds

4-star, No. 17 corner, No. 198 nationally

Recent offer from Notre Dame following the signing of Davonte Neal. Has a nice collection of offers from Pac-12 schools and elite teams across the country. May visit Notre Dame this spring.

Redfield_medium Max Redfield- Mission Viejo, California (Mission Viejo)

6'2" 195 pounds

4-star, No.2 safety, No. 30 nationally

Top safety prospect with mostly Pac-12 offers. Announced a top five of USC, Oregon, Washington, LSU, and Notre Dame. Has a good relationship with Notre Dame, but is still considered a long shot for someone giving the Irish some ear.

Fuller_medium Kendall Fuller- Olney, Maryland (Our Lady of Good Counsel)

6'0" 185 pounds

5-star, No. 1 corner, No. 4 nationally

Offered by almost all the elite teams. Has 3 brothers attending Virginia Tech. Notre Dame is desperately trying to get him to visit South Bend.

5'10" 177 pounds

5-star, No. 3 corner, No. 10 nationally

Diverse and growing offer list. Heavily favoring Florida and USF with USC and Florida State drawing interest. He may visit Notre Dame in the future.

6'1" 190 pounds

4-star, No. 19 safety

Elite prospect with many big time offers. Has visited Notre Dame and had many nice things to say about his trip. Interest still seems lukewarm at best.

Cold_medium

Moore_medium L.J. Moore- Fresno, California (Central East)

6'1" 170 pounds

4-star, No. 17 safety, No. 223 nationally

Announced a top list of Cal, UCLA, Washington, Notre Dame, Georgia and Houston. Notre Dame may be out of the picture with the departure of Tee Shepard.

Priest_willis_medium Priest Willis- Tempe, Arizona (Marcos De Niza)

6'2" 200 pounds

4-star, No. 9 safety, No. 84 nationally

Yet another offer to the state of Arizona. He's excited by Notre Dame but is no hurry to make a decision. Offered by LSU and has the Tigers as his leader at the moment.

John_johnson_medium John Johnson- Fresno, California (San Jaquin Memorial)

5'10" 175 pounds

4-star, No. 15 corner, No. 173 nationally

Another Irish offer from the Fresno area. Many agree that he is heavily favoring USC right now.

Byrd_medium Hatari Byrd- Fresno, California (Central East)

6'1" 195 pounds

4-star, No. 20 safety

Former teammate with Tee Shepard. Seems interested in Notre Dame but is considered a USC lean for the moment. Recently spoke very highly of Notre Dame.

Cravens_35_medium Su'a Cravens- Murrieta, California (Vista Murrieta)

6'1" 205 pounds

5-star, No. 1 safety, No. 5 nationally

6'2" 205 pounds

4-star, No. 5 safety, No. 39 nationally

Picking up elite offers quickly. Hasn't shown much interest in Notre Dame and will likely stay somewhere in the state of Florida.

Conner_35_medium Antonio Conner- Batesville, Mississippi (South Panola)

6'2" 192 pounds

4-star, No. 4 safety, No. 38 nationally

Growing offer list but meager interest in Notre Dame. A battle between the two Mississippi schools with LSU and Alabama.

Chris_hawkins_medium Chris Hawkins- Rancho Cucamonga, California (Rancho Cucamonga) *USC VERBAL*

6'0" 170 pounds

4-star, No. 9 corner, No. 159 nationally

Has California, Stanford, and UCLA, and USC as his favorites. Delayed his announcement from March 10th and still has not decided. Rumored not to be considering Notre Dame any longer. Most expect a Stanford or USC verbal commit soon.

Desmond_lawrence_medium Desmond Lawrence- Charlotte, North Carolina (Christian) *NORTH CAROLINA VERBAL*

6'0" 175 pounds

3-star

Offered by Notre Dame and carries a handful of nice offers including South Carolina, NC State, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Duke.

5'11" 179 pounds

3-star, No. 20 corner
