Notre Dame Football Recruiting: Names to Watch Until National Signing Day

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — With less than two weeks until national signing day, Notre Dame football is looking to close out its class of 2015 with a few more additions.

The Irish currently have 22 commitments, including four early enrollees already in South Bend. The signs still point toward Notre Dame aiming to add another wide receiver, running back and safety to its current crop.

Here are the names to know heading toward national signing day. Naturally, anything can change in the recruiting game, even late in the process, but this is the short list of Irish targets based on reported mutual interest.

The No. 20 wide receiver in the country, Equanimeous St. Brown, is a top remaining target for the Irish.

Tabbed as the No. 160 overall player, per 247Sports’ composite rankings, St. Brown has hosted Irish coaches in recent weeks in Anaheim, California, according to Irish247’s Tom Loy. According to Loy, the Under Armour All-American also said Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly will head out west for an in-home visit next week.

Notre Dame has not been linked recently to other class of 2015 wide receivers. St. Brown is scheduled to announce his decision on national signing day.

Running back Dexter Williams took an official visit to South Bend last weekend and told 247Sports’ Ryan Bartow the Irish are “high on my list” afterward.

Williams drew attention a few days later when former Notre Dame players Louis Nix and Cierre Wood tweeted at Williams welcoming the running back to the Notre Dame family. Williams, though, told Loy he hasn’t committed anywhere yet. According to Loy, Williams will announce his commitment on national signing day and is deciding between Notre Dame, Miami and Louisville.

Notre Dame has been searching all over in recent months for a second running back to pair with class of 2015 commitment Josh Adams. Running back target Ke’Shawn Vaughn, who also took an official visit to campus last weekend, recently announced his final three, which did not include Notre Dame.

Louisiana native and 3-star safety Justin Reid is taking an official visit to Notre Dame this weekend after stopping by Stanford last week.

Notre Dame’s quest for a safety has been well documented, an ongoing search even before class of 2015 safety Prentice McKinney decommitted from Notre Dame on Wednesday.

At 6'0", 193 pounds, Reid checks in as the No. 22 safety and No. 369 overall player in the country. According to 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong, Reid is expected to visit LSU next weekend. Reid’s brother, Eric, was an All-American safety at LSU and played in the 2014 Pro Bowl after a strong rookie season with the San Francisco 49ers.

Defensive back Frank Buncom IV is pegged as the No. 120 overall player in the nation and took an official visit to Notre Dame in early October.

The San Diego native told Bartow he will announce his college decision Wednesday and said his four finalists are Stanford, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt and California.

Safety Arrington Farrar was once a Stanford commitment, but his recruitment recently reopened, as noted by Loy.

A 4-star prospect and the No. 15 safety in the class of 2015, Farrar is taking an official visit to Wisconsin this weekend following a trip to North Carolina last weekend. According to Loy, Notre Dame and Penn State are also possibilities for an official visit from the Atlanta product.

Nathan Meadors

San Bernardino, California, native Nathan Meadors, a 3-star athlete, took an official visit to Notre Dame last weekend.

Meadors told Loy that “Notre Dame really made up some ground with UCLA and the other schools” after his visit. The safety prospect is also considering Boise State and Oregon, according to Loy.

Chris Williamson

Notre Dame is still casting a fairly wide net in its search for another defensive back, and 3-star athlete Chris Williamson is another name to keep in mind.

Ranked as the No. 430 player in his class, Williamson visited North Carolina last weekend. According to Loy, Williamson has been considering Notre Dame, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, Cal and North Carolina this month.

Williamson is visiting Michigan this weekend.

Additional less-likely names to watch include 5-star cornerback Iman Marshall, 5-star running back Soso Jamabo, 4-star athlete Jordan Cronkrite and 3-star athlete Gary Jennings.
