Notre Dame Football Recruiting: 4-Star defensive back Devin Moore decommits from the Irish

The first one hails from Florida

The first decommitment in this post Brian Kelly world for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish belongs to 4-Star defensive back Devin Moore, from Naples, Florida.

Marathon is in the Florida Keys — but that is neither here nor there.

Moore committed to the Irish back in July with a healthy offer list that included the Alabama Crimson Tide and many other top programs from around the country. And yes... the LSU Tigers offered Moore this fall.

There is just no way around these things right now with a clear path by Notre Dame and Jack Swarbrick. I would expect at least a few other decommitments if the coaching search drags on over the next couple of weeks. I can’t say for certain if Notre Dame will still be under consideration — but he chose Notre Dame for certain reasons, and if the next head coach can convince him that those reasons are still valid without Brian kelly, then maybe there’s a chance to pull Moore back into the class.

Notre Dame’s class now has 22 commits and is currently ranked #4 according to the 247 Team Composite Rankings.

The scholarship chart below is a little inaccurate (and Kyle hasn’t publicly said he’s gone yet lol). The defensive backs have (and will still be) moved around a bit — but at least you can see the bodies to work with as of right now.

This really has boiled down to a waiting game with consequences for time spent. It is what it is until it isn’t any longer.
