Here are today\u2019s Lucky Charms, a Monday-Thursday nightly insider notes article on Notre Dame football recruiting.<\/p>\n
*** My new prediction has been one that I\u2019ve been interested in making for quite some time but for various reasons haven\u2019t done it until now. But coming off his successful visit to Notre Dame Sunday, I\u2019m logging a pick for Atlanta Woodward Academy\u2019s Jerome Bettis Jr.<\/a><\/strong>, the No. 402 overall player and No. 58 wide receiver per the 2025 On3 Industry Ranking.<\/p>\n He\u2019s obviously the son of Notre Dame legend Jerome Bettis Sr.<\/a><\/strong>, and it\u2019d be hard for the Irish not to go after his kid if he\u2019s at the Power Five talent, which he easily is. From what I\u2019ve heard from Notre Dame sources about Bettis, they really are high on him as a prospect. He\u2019s a three-star prospect right now, but the 6-3, 185-pounder has great size, athleticism and is in store for a big junior season.<\/p>\n Bettis tells me that he\u2019s still not looking to commit any time soon. He\u2019s planning on making a decision after his junior season. But whether it\u2019s tomorrow or in January, my read is that it\u2019ll likely be Notre Dame. Bettis doesn\u2019t seem like he\u2019s set on blazing his own path; he really likes Notre Dame based on his own experiences with the university.<\/p>\n Georgia Tech, Arkansas, Texas A&M, UCF, N.C. State, Missouri and Boston College are among Bettis\u2019 other scholarship offers.<\/p>\n *** Nashville (Tenn.) Lipscomb Academy\u2019s Deuce Knight<\/a><\/strong>, the No. 59 overall player and No. 4 quarterback per the 2025 On3 Industry Ranking, has been predicted by another outlet to end up at Notre Dame. I like the pick, and it\u2019s not farfetched, but it\u2019s bold at this point. <\/p>\n I\u2019ve reported previously on the quarterback dominos that can take place, with various schools preferring one signal-caller most, and for Tennessee, George MacIntyre<\/a><\/strong> looks like the top guy for the Volunteers. If Tennessee does land MacIntyre, then Notre Dame will look really good to land Knight. But even if they don\u2019t, the Irish making him the top priority from beginning might make a big difference.<\/p>\n Knight may actually prefer Tennessee at this point from what I gather as he\u2019s enjoying the recruiting process, but multiple sources I\u2019ve talked with believe his parents prefer the Fighting Irish. Knight is expected to visit Notre Dame for either the Ohio State or USC game, and the hope is that he\u2019ll pop in favor of the Irish after that trip. We\u2019re still seven or eight weeks from the earliest date he could commit in my estimation. Ole Miss can\u2019t be counted out for Knight either.<\/p>\n The post Lucky Charms: New prediction logged for Notre Dame football recruiting<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are today\u2019s Lucky Charms, a Monday-Thursday nightly insider notes article on Notre Dame football…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12471\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
