In-State Pass Rusher Damien Shanklin Sets Notre Dame Visit

Notre Dame has made it a priority to keep talented recruits in their backyard at home. One player who fits that description is 2025 Indianapolis (Ind.) Warren Central pass rusher Damien Shanklin, who is one of the top overall players in the state of Indiana.

Shanklin has finalized a game visit to Notre Dame. The talented defender will be heading to campus on October 14th for the team’s battle against the USC Trojans.

“I’m super excited for the visit,” Shanklin told Irish Breakdown. “I know the game is going to be very intense and the atmosphere is going to be amazing.”

Shanklin is beginning to collect several impressive offers over the last few months. Some of the top programs who have extended offers thus far include the Fighting Irish, USC, Iowa, Missouri, Cincinnati, Minnesota, Purdue, West Virginia, Indiana and Rutgers among others. Warren Central is the same school as former Irish star Sheldon Day.

The 6-4, 230-pound defensive end is considered a four-star recruit on the On3 Industry ranking, as well as on Rivals. On the Industry ranking, Shanklin currently sits as the No. 278 overall player and No. 21 EDGE in the 2025 recruiting class. He is also the No. 3 player in the state of Indiana.

As a sophomore, Shanklin assumed a substantial role for Warren Central. The in-state standout collected 32 total tackles, five tackles for loss and three sacks.

Now a junior, Shanklin has taken his game to a whole other level. In seven games so far, the talented defender has recorded 38 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss and three sacks.
