The good start that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish got off to in the 2020 recruiting cycle just got a whole lot better. 4-Star defensive tackle, Aidan Keanaaina has given his verbal commitment to Notre Dame, and becomes the fifth recruit to join the class.

The 6’3 292 pounder from Denver, Colorado had offers from all over the country — including the USC Trojans and Michigan Wolverines. He eventually narrowed his list down to a top three that included the Florida Gators, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Notre Dame.

Aidan commented:

“First I would like to thank God for this amazing opportunity and talent he has given me throughout my years to reach this point of my life. I am bless with no doubt to be in this position. I am humbled by the fact I have this opportunity to choose from several schools to play a sport I love and at the same time earn a top notch education. All this would not have been possible without my Family.”

He goes on to say:

“It is with great pleasure that I announce I will be attending ‘The University of Notre Dame’ to continue my academic and athletic career starting, June 2020. I am looking forward to this next chapter in my life. I am committed 100% to Notre Dame!”

We will have more on Keanaania’s commitment to the Irish and what it means for this 2020 class moving forward in just a bit, but we do have to say what an awesome get this is for the Irish as continue to beef up its defensive line for a promising future.
