One Foot Down Podcast: Recapping Notre Dame Football’s Current 2019 Recruiting Class

Talkin’ CROOTIN!

Notre Dame commits: Hunter Spears, Jacob Lacey, and Kyren Williams
Mike Miller/One Foot Down

With the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on a bye this week, I thought it would be a good time to dive into the murky world of recruiting. The Irish are currently sitting with 19 commitments for the class, and closing in on the few remaining spots.

I go through the class a bit, and discuss who the Irish could add before the February signing day. There will be a second podcast published on Wednesday that will dive deeper into the overall roster, scholarships, position changes, and other such things.

The regular OFD Podcast with the Sweigert brothers should be out on Wednesday as well. (Hint for the BYE... get away from your computer, throw in your earbuds, and get that damn honey-do list done).

I have the commitment list and the scholarship chart for 2019 posted below the player.

You can listen in the Soundcloud player below, but you can also find the OFD Podcast on iTunes and Google Play for all of you that are on the go. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, but also please take a moment to rate and review.
