Notre Dame Football Recruiting Offers of the Week

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — After a mid-July lull, Notre Dame football recruiting was back in full gear last week, as the Irish landed another commitment and extended two more offers.

Notre Dame received a commitment from class-of-2016 weak-side defensive end Adetokunbo Ogundeji on Thursday evening, pushing the class to 13 members.

Each week, we’ll be keeping tabs on the new scholarship offers sent out by the Notre Dame coaches, tracking the recruiting process as the Irish focus their attention toward the classes of 2016, 2017 and maybe even 2018.

Class-of-2017 linebacker Nate McBride hauled in an offer from Notre Dame on Thursday.

The Vidalia, Georgia native is the No. 3 outside linebacker and No. 37 overall prospect in the class. McBride also holds offers from Florida State, Duke, Michigan, Stanford, Clemson, Alabama and Penn State, among others.

“It was unexpected, but it was really great news,” McBride told Irish247’s Tom Loy. “Especially since it’s from Notre Dame, it’s a blessing. It’s unbelievable.”

McBride told Loy he plans to visit Notre Dame for either the Texas or USC game, both prime-time matchups at Notre Dame Stadium.

“As soon as I head up there for a visit, they’ll definitely be in my top five, if not top three,” McBride told Loy. “They’ll be in my top group. They have a lot of history behind them and they’ve had great players and great coaches. They are always a winning program, and the stadium is beautiful.”

McBride added that Alabama and Georgia have the early lead, but he’s still open to all programs, per Loy.

Like McBride, Gibbs is a Georgia product, hailing from Suwanee. He’s slotted as the No. 1 cornerback and No. 4 overall player.

“It means a lot to me,” Gibbs told Loy. “I’ve been waiting for this offer for a moment.”

Gibbs also boasts offers from Oregon, Oregon State, USC, Texas, LSU, Ohio State, Auburn and Alabama, among others.
