Notre Dame Makes Final Four For California Corner
Notre Dame is involved with a number of top cornerbacks in the 2022 class, and the Fighting Irish made the final four for one of the best on the West Coast. Notre Dame was named one of the four finalists for Corona (Calif.) Centennial cornerback Jaden Mickey.
Notre Dame, Oregon, California and Northwestern were the four schools that made up Mickey's final list. Notre Dame has yet to land a cornerback in the 2022 class, but the staff is rightfully being picky. After landing three corners in 2020 and four more in 2021 the Irish aren't in need of numbers at cornerback in this class, they are in need of high quality talent.
The 5-11, 170-pound corner is ranked as the nation's No. 220 overall player and No. 27 cornerback by 247Sports. Mickey was one of many 2022 players on the board who did not get a chance to play his junior season due to Covid guidelines that canceled his season.
Mickey had offers from Georgia, USC, Nebraska, Utah, Arkansas, Arizona State, Michigan State, Oregon State, Arizona, Boise State, Kansas and Washington State.
Notre Dame last signed a player from Centennial in the 2016 class when it landed wide receiver Javon McKinley, who just wrapped up his Fighting Irish career.
