Notre Dame Football Recruiting Offers of the Week (2024)

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — With Notre Dame football’s incoming freshmen arriving over the weekend, classes starting Monday and a slew of visitors lined up, the Irish coaching staff continued to dish out offers during the past week, extending another 11 across the country.

Each week we’ll be keeping tabs on the new scholarship offers sent out by the Notre Dame coaches, tracking the recruiting process as the Irish focus their attention toward the classes of 2016, 2017 and maybe even 2018.

Melquise Stovall

A commitment to USC didn’t stop Notre Dame from offering class-of-2016 running back and cornerback Melquise Stovall on Thursday.

The 5’8”, 180-pounder is the No. 3 all-purpose back and No. 156 overall prospect in the country. Stovall, who hails from Lancaster, California, pledged to the Trojans in mid-April. He rushed for 1,603 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2014 as a junior.

“I was talking to the running back coach [Tony Alford] before he left [for a job at Ohio State],” Stovall told Irish247’s Tom Loy in May. “We talked a lot. Now, I started talking to the wide receivers coach [Mike Denbrock].” … I do love the tradition of Notre Dame and the school itself. It’s great.”

Carlo Kemp

Notre Dame jumped into the mix with an offer for class-of-2016 strong-side defensive end Carlo Kemp on Tuesday.

The No. 17 strong-side end and No. 291 overall player, Kemp hails from Boulder, Colorado. The 6’3”, 255-pounder also has offers from Nebraska, Colorado, Colorado State and Wisconsin, among others, according to Loy.

“It means a lot to me,” Kemp told Loy. “It’s awesome to finally pick up an offer from a school that I’ve wanted for a very long time.”

“I’m talking with my mom right now to figure out a good date to visit Notre Dame,” Kemp told Loy. “I’ll get up there again later this summer.”

Dontavious Jackson

Class-of-2016 linebacker Dontavious Jackson’s fruitful week began with an offer from Notre Dame and ended with an offer from Alabama.

At 6’2”, 239 pounds, Jackson is the No. 4 inside linebacker and No. 122 prospect in the country. The Houston product boasts an extensive offer list that includes LSU, Ohio State, Florida State, Florida, Georgia, UCLA and others.

As a junior, Jackson piled up 165 tackles, 27 tackles for loss and six sacks.

“I’m thinking of taking an official visit,” Jackson told Loy. “It feels amazing, and I’m thankful.”

Jeffrey McCulloch

The Irish didn’t stop at just one Houston-area class-of-2016 linebacker, as they extended an offer to outside linebacker Jeffrey McCulloch on Friday.

The 6’2.5”, 230-pound McCulloch is the No. 9 outside linebacker and No. 103 overall recruit in his class. Notre Dame joined Florida State, Stanford, Florida, USC, Oregon, Alabama and others with the offer.

Koby Quansah

Class-of-2016 inside linebacker Koby Quansah received an Irish offer Wednesday.

Quansah is listed as 6’1”, 212 pounds and checks in as a 3-star linebacker—29th at his position and No. 407 in the country. The West Hartford, Connecticut, native also holds offers from Nebraska, Arizona State, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, in addition to others.

“Man, this offers means so much,” Quansah told Loy. “It’s great. I was talking to [Irish assistant] coach [Mike] Elston and then I talked to [Irish defensive coordinator Brian] VanGorder. That’s when I found out about the offer, from Coach VanGorder. He told me he didn’t need to see me in person and that based on my tape and Coach Elston’s recommendation, he said that he wanted to offer me. It meant a lot that he liked me and I didn’t even have to visit just to get it.”

Quansah said while he hasn’t completely narrowed down his recruitment yet, Notre Dame is in his top group, along with Michigan and Duke.

“I was talking to my coach recently about visits to Michigan and Notre Dame,” Quansah said. “I’m gonna try to visit both on the same trip. If not, I’ll definitely see both on official visits.”

Donte Vaughn

Class-of-2016 cornerback Donte Vaughn took a midweek visit to Notre Dame and came away with an offer Wednesday.

At 6’3”, 192 pounds, the 4-star Vaughn is the No. 27 cornerback and No. 302 recruit in the country. The Memphis, Tennessee, product also claims offers from Texas A&M, LSU, Mississippi State and Tennessee.

Ty Chandler

Nashville, Tennessee, product Ty Chandler became the third class-of-2017 running back to haul in an Irish offer when Notre Dame touched base Monday.

The 5’11”, 180-pounder is the No. 7 running back and No. 66 overall prospect in his class. Chandler attends Montgomery Bell Academy, the same Nashville school that produced Irish redshirt freshman offensive lineman Alex Bars. LSU, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, among others, have also offered Chandler.

The Irish have also offered 2017 running backs Najee Harris, an Alabama commit, and Maleik Gray.

Wyatt Davis

Notre Dame’s lone class-of-2017 commitment, Dillan Gibbons, is an offensive lineman, and the Irish have offered as many offensive linemen in the class as any other position.

They targeted another Wednesday by extending an offer to class-of-2017 tackle Wyatt Davis.

David is the No. 6 offensive tackle and No. 33 player in the country. Currently pegged as a 5-star recruit, Davis is listed at 6’5”, 290 pounds and has offers from Michigan, Miami, Florida, UCLA, USC and Oklahoma, among others.

“I was very excited,” Davis told Loy. “I’ve always wanted to check out Notre Dame and see what they were all about. I was really excited about this offer.”

“Coach Denbrock wants me to come out for a visit and check them out,” Davis said. “He wants me to stay in contact with [offensive line] coach [Harry] Hiestand.”

Tyrell Ajian

Class-of-2017 athlete Tyrell Ajian landed a Notre Dame offer Saturday.

Ajian is the No. 3 athlete and No. 43 overall player in the country. The Mansfield, Ohio, product has visited Ohio State multiple times this spring and is scheduled to be on campus at Notre Dame this weekend for the Irish Invasion camp.

“Everything excites me about the Irish,” Ajian told 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong. “Such a strong, physical team with a great tradition. I’ve always loved watching them.”

JaCoby Stevens

Class-of-2017 wide receiver and safety JaCoby Stevens received an offer from the Irish on Wednesday, per 247Sports’ Barton Simmons.

The 6’2", 200-pound Tennessee native is the No. 4 athlete and No. 44 prospect. Stevens’ other offers include Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, LSU and Tennessee, in addition to others.

Amon-Ra St. Brown

A familiar surname popped back onto the Notre Dame recruiting radar Friday when class-of-2018 wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown landed an offer from the Irish.

The Anaheim, California, native is the brother of Irish incoming freshman wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown and class-of-2017 wide receiver Osiris St. Brown, who also holds an offer from Notre Dame. Amon-Ra St. Brown is just the second class-of-2018 prospect to receive an offer from the Irish. He joins fellow California wide receiver Jalen Hall, who heard from the Irish in mid-April.

“It’s amazing that Equanimeous, Osiris and I can all go to the same school,” Amon-Ra told Loy. “It’s great. We’ll see what happens next, but it’s great that Notre Dame made sure that we all had an offer. It’s incredible. I mean, I’m almost speechless and still in shock.”

Notre Dame is the fourth school to offer St. Brown, following the lead of Boise State, Washington State and Utah.

“My dad called coach Brian Kelly and coach let him know that I had an offer from Notre Dame,” St. Brown said. “I was amazed. It’s truly a blessing. This is by far the biggest offer I’ve gotten yet. I’m shocked and amazed.”
