Okay, so I was digging into the whole Notre Dame football recruiting thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster.
First off, I started by checking out the buzz around National Signing Day. Turns out, it was a pretty big deal for the 2025 class. I mean, this is the day when all those high school stars officially commit to their colleges. Makes sense, right?
So, I then saw some news about this guy, Madden Faraimo, a 4-star linebacker. Apparently, he committed to Notre Dame. I thought, “Okay, this is interesting.” I kept digging and discovered he’s from San Juan Capistrano’s JSerra Catholic. Good school, good player, makes sense that Notre Dame would want him.
After that, I looked into the whole recruiting class. Turns out, Notre Dame signed a whopping 25 players on National Signing Day! Twenty-five! That’s a lot of new talent. I was like, “Wow, they’re really building up their team.”
The Numbers Game
Then I got into the nitty-gritty, you know, the rankings and all that. Notre Dame’s class is ranked No. 12. Not bad, not bad at all. But here’s the kicker – I stumbled upon this little tidbit that said this was their lowest percentage in the last four cycles and the second lowest in the last six. Hmm, that got me thinking. What were they doing before, right?
Freeman’s Take
I also listened to what Marcus Freeman, the head coach, had to say during his National Signing Day press conference. He seemed pretty pumped about the new recruits, especially Faraimo. He announced that Faraimo committed and signed with Notre Dame. He seems really excited to get them on the field, and honestly, so am I.
So, what did I learn from all this?
- Notre Dame signed 25 new players.
- Their recruiting class is ranked 12th.
- They got a 4-star linebacker named Madden Faraimo.
- The coach, Marcus Freeman, is excited about the new talent.
It was a long day of reading and researching, but I got it done. I just tried my best to put all the pieces together and see what’s what. Overall, it was a pretty interesting dive into the world of college football recruiting. I am excited to see how these new recruits perform next season!
