Notre Dame Lands Five Commits In The SI99 Rankings From SI All-American
SI All-American released its first installment of its SI99 rankings for the Class of 2022, and Notre Dame had five commits make the first edition.
Notre Dame's newest commitment is also its highest ranked, with Vancouver (Wash.) Union star wide receiver Tobias Merriweather checking in as the nation's No. 46 overall player. SI All-American has Merriweather ranked higher than any other recruiting service. Merriweather is ranked as the No. 4 outside receiver and No. 7 overall wide receiver in the class.
Hilton Head (S.C.) High School linebacker Jaylen Sneed cracked the rankings at No. 62. Sneed is the fifth ranked linebacker in the SI All-American rankings. Another Notre Dame linebacker - Traverse City (Mich.) Central athlete Josh Burnham - also cracked the SI99, ranking No. 84 in the first installment of the rankings.
Notre Dame is the only program in the country with more than one linebacker in the SI99.
Naples (Fla.) High School cornerback Devin Moore ranks No. 84 in the SI99 list. This is by far the highest ranked for Moore, who also ranked as the 10th best cornerback in the country in the SI99 rankings.
Rounding out the list is St. Louis (Mo.) John Burrough defensive end Tyson Ford, who cracked the rankings at No. 98 nationally. Ford is one of four Notre Dame defensive commits to crack the SI99, with only Clemson (5) having more defensive player in the rankings.
Notre Dame is tied with Ohio State for the third most SI99 commits, trailing only Clemson (8) and Alabama (6).
There are several Notre Dame prospects also in the first edition of the 2022 SI99.
Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei wide receiver CJ Williams is slated to make a commitment to either Notre Dame, Alabama, Texas, USC or Stanford on Sunday. Williams is ranked No. 88 in the SI All-American rankings. If Notre Dame is able to land Williams it would tie the Irish with Alabama for the second most SI99 commitments.
Here are other Notre Dame targets in the SI99:
No. 19 - Anthony Lucas, DL
No. 35 - Xavier Nwankpa, S
