Early Monday morning, 4-Star linebacker Bodie Kahoun gave his public commitment to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and its 2024 football recruiting class. The 6’3” 215 pounder chose the Irish over a healthy offer list that included the Virginia Tech Hokies, Tennessee Volunteers, Florida State Seminoles, Utah Utes, North Carolina Tar Heels, and more.
Excited to announce my commitment to further my academics and play football for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. @NDFootball @Marcus_Freeman1 @CoachAlGolden @Bullough40 @NDrecruiting01 @afiddler16 @TomLoy247 @RivalsFriedman @SWiltfong247 @TomLoy247 @RiseNDraft @ronharrodjr pic.twitter.com/Eazq17Tk4I

Kahoun was once committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes in lacrosse but backed out of that pledge for a future playing linebacker at the college level.
Notre Dame was really impressed by Kahoun and his ability, and the love they showed Kahoun during his recruitment didn’t go unnoticed.
“Really, just the love they showed me (stood out). The one-on-one time I had with (Marcus) Freeman, (Al) Golden, and all that, really. Just how much they already knew about me was also nice. On how much film they’ve watched on me, the background checks they’ve done on me. It was cool to see how much love they showed me.
Kahoun is now the 16th commitment for Notre Dame’s 2024 recruiting class. The class represents 13 states with its 16 commitments and is now ranked #3 in the country according to the 247 Team Composite Rankings.

The void at LB in this class has quickly been filled with the last two commitments of Teddy Rezac and Bodie Kahoun. While the numbers are starting to get high at linebacker, I still expect the Irish to gain one more commitment at the position in this class.

Kahoun’s 4-Star ranking by Rivals is the highest ranking by any of the services at the moment, but I fully expect a bump by the others as he goes into his senior year. Bodie has really great length and a speed burst that will serve him well defending the pass — whether blitzing the QB or dropping back into coverage. He’s a really nice addition to this class.
