These weekends are designed as an opportunity to gather targets on campus and really move the needle.<\/p>\n<p>Under Marcus Freeman, the staff has significantly changed their expectations when it comes to hiring. It also promises to be a successful weekend. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"notre-dame-commits-on-campus\">Notre Dame Initiatives on Campus<\/h2>\n<p>Currently, the Irish program expects all seven of its 2024 commits to go to South Bend.

This is essential for what promises to be another great recruiting class when all is done. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also massive for maintaining momentum on the trail. Getting that group together in front of unmotivated recruits is invaluable. The ultimate recruitment tool. <\/p>\n<p>Below are the 2024 recruits currently committed to Notre Dame.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p><strong>QB CJ Carr-Saline (Michigan) HS<br \/><\/strong><strong>RB Aneyas Williams &#8211; Hannibal (Mo.)

He&#8217;s a development player, but he&#8217;s got some serious tools to work with. Notre Dame should be hard to beat for this legacy recruit. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<p>As one of the most recognizable figures on campus, Hayes has the biggest advantage among recruits nationwide in 2024. He&#8217;s incredibly long and athletic and could be projected to the next level at both linebacker and Viper. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-5\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<p>The Smith twins are two recruits who are highly valued by the staff. Jacob says he&#8217;s 6-5 pounds and he&#8217;s a 225-pound Viper his type, but Jerrod is a big-end recruit who eventually fits in. They appear to be a package deal and the Irishman may be on the market to acquire both. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-5\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-5\"\/>\n<p>At 6-6 and weighing 270, Abasiri is another useful defensive lineman Notre Dame is eyeing. The Minnesota native is back on campus this season after visiting for a Clemson game.  Abasiri is a potential riser in his 2024 class. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-6\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-5\"\/>\n<p>The program has recruited anyone in the past two recruiting classes, not just linebackers. Pierce sits near the top of Notre Dame&#8217;s linebacker board and brings a great combination of physicality and explosiveness. This visit could continue their tremendous momentum with Texas prominence. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-6\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-6\"\/>\n<p>One of the top players in the state, Johnson is a talented athlete who weighs 6-3 pounds and weighs 170 pounds. There are plenty of schools out there that have him on wide receiver, but Notre Dame sees him on defense. If both sides are happy with their fit, it should be very difficult for Johnson to beat the Irishman.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-7\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-6\"\/>\n<p>Notre Dame welcomes 2025 recruits to the campus of the Northmont Wide Receiver in Clayton, Ohio. <strong>durian brew<\/strong>The Ohio native is one of the top pass catchers in the recruiting class for 2025.
