Notre Dame Football: Irish's Top Remaining Recruiting Targets for NSD 2016

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — We’re now just one week away from national signing day, and the Notre Dame football coaches are traveling across the country trying to land the final Irish targets.

Currently, Notre Dame’s class of 2016 consists of 22 prospects, including the five early enrollees already on campus and weeks away from the start of their first spring sessions.

Stud wide receiver Demetris Robertson is the highest-rated target still on Notre Dame’s board.

The 5-star Robertson is the No. 1 wideout in the country and the No. 14 overall prospect. Notre Dame assistants Mike Sanford, Mike Denbrock and Scott Booker are scheduled for an in-home visit with Robertson on Thursday, per Irish247’s Tom Loy.

The Irish are jockeying with Georgia, Alabama and, perhaps increasingly, Georgia Tech, according to Loy.

There’s still an array of linebackers on Notre Dame’s board, and 5-star prospect Caleb Kelly highlights the group.

The Fresno, California, native is the No. 3 outside linebacker and No. 25 overall recruit in the nation. Kelly took his official visit to South Bend in mid-December for Notre Dame’s awards banquet weekend.

The Irish staff—with head coach Brian Kelly, associate head coach Denbrock and linebackers coach Mike Elston—had its final in-home visit with Caleb Kelly on Tuesday.

Oklahoma has ranked among Kelly’s leaders, per Loy.

Outside linebacker Jonathan Jones is the No. 31 player at his position and No. 449 overall prospect in the class. The Orlando, Florida, native is only considering Notre Dame and Michigan, per 247Sports’ Ryan Bartow.

According to Loy, Notre Dame assistant coaches Autry Denson and Brian VanGorder were expected to visit Jones this week.

Wide receiver Nate Johnson committed to Michigan in mid-December, but the Irish are still targeting the No. 93 wideout in the nation.

The Thompson’s Station, Tennessee, product took an official visit to Notre Dame over the weekend, six days after the Irish reached out with an offer.

Notre Dame’s current wide receivers in the class include early enrollee Kevin Stepherson, Javon McKinley and Chase Claypool.
