Brian Kelly Breaks Down The 2021 Recruiting Class

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly talked about the early signees in the 2021 recruiting class

Notre Dame signed 24 players during the early signing period, and that ranks the Irish class as the sixth best in the country according to SI All-American. Notre Dame hopes to add to the class over the next couple of days and into February, but there was still plenty for head coach Brian Kelly to talk about.

Kelly introduced the class, talked about meeting specific needs and finding players that fit at Notre Dame.

Back in December, Kelly talked about the desire to land a Top 5 class. During the introduction of the early signees he was asked about that, and Kelly clarified his comments. He also talked about the challenges of putting together a class during a pandemic that created a dead period that has now gone on for nine months.
