Notre Dame Offers Talented California Cornerback Dakoda Fields
Notre Dame's pursuit of talented cornerbacks continues, as position coach Mike Mickens has offered one of the best cover men on the West Coast, Gardena (Calif.) Serra standout Dakoda Fields.
Mickens has spent time on the West Coast this week in search of talented cornerbacks in the 2023, 2024 and 2025 classes. This is the fourth cornerback offer that Mickens and Notre Dame have made this week to players in all three classes.
Fields is a unique cornerback with outstanding length. He is listed at 6-3 and 175 pounds, which is much taller than we normally see at the cornerback position. When a defender is that tall the first thought can be "Well, he'll end up being a safety." Perhaps, but it doesn't take much film watching from his sophomore season to see that Fields has impressive potential on the outside of the defense.
Fields knows how to use his length when playing the ball and as a tackler. His long speed is also quite noticeable on film, and his instincts in coverage are quite impressive for such a young athlete.
The Serra standout is a four-star recruit that is ranked as the No. 129 overall player in the country according to 247Sports. Fields currently has scholarship offers from the Fighting Irish, USC, LSU, Oregon, Washington, Oregon State, Arizona, California and Colorado.
Fields finished his sophomore season with 57 tackles, eight pass break ups and two interceptions while playing in one of the best leagues on the West Coast, if not the nation.
