Notre Dame Football Recruiting: 4-Star WR Isiah Canion decommits from the Irish

Well okay then

On Saturday, 4-Star Georgia wide receiver Isiah Canion announced his decision o decommit from the 2024 Notre Dame Football recruiting class.

Let’s just cut to the chase... this decommitment has to do with the state of Georgia — Canion’s home state. The loud word is that Canion and his family would like him to go to college closer to home due to the traveling distance of South Bend. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets certainly fit the bill, but the Georgia Bulldogs may soon become a giant factor as their interest in gaining Canion’s services increases. I also wouldn’t count out the Auburn Tigers either.

Also cutting to the chase... this does suck for Notre Dame. The trio of Canion, Micah Gilbert, and Cam Williams was lining up to be one of the best WR hauls in recent memory, and right after the fantastic 2023 haul of Braylon James, Rico Flores, Jaden Greathouse, and Kaleb Smith. It sucks because MORE talent is a big win, but this is a blow that Notre Dame can absorb — and even overcome.

Despite the decommitment, Notre Dame’s 2024 class is still ranked #5 according to the 247 Team Composite.

Like I said, the Irish are still sitting fairly good with the WR numbers, but MORE talent is always better. Obviously they would like at least three wide receivers in this class, and will turn up the heat on their target board.
