Notre Dame 2023 Commits Debut High In The ESPN300
Notre Dame has the No. 2 ranked recruiting class in the country for the 2022 class, and the 2023 class is also off to a blazing start. Notre Dame has commitments from a pair of talented defensive ends, and both debuted with high rankings in the first installment of the ESPN300.
Mentor (Ohio) High School defensive end Brenan Vernon ranked No. 34 in the first ESPN300 for the 2023 class, which makes him the highest ranked committed prospect in the country.
Tampa (Fla.) Berkeley Prep edge rusher Keon Keeley ranked No. 165 on the list, making him the ninth highest ranked committed prospect in the class. Keeley has elite tools and I expect his ranking to see a big jump over the next year.
