OL Rocco Spindler – Second team

Spindler, which is nationally rated as the no. 3 offensive guard by Rivals, caught the Irish over defending national champions LSU, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State.

Three Notre Dame goals were also scored USA Today’s eare.

Lititz (Pa.) Warwick’s Nolan Rucci, who is mentioned as the offensive approach no. 6 and no. 36 nationwide by Rivals, received honorary teams from the first team. The Irish are fighting with Clemson, Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin for his commitment.

Notre Dame escaped a few 2022 offers this week from prospects named on the second season exactly at Shelby (NC) High’s Malaki Hamrick, the no. 13 outside linebackers and No. 119 overall appearance per Rivals, and Hartford (Ala.) Geneva County’s Emmanuel Henderson, the no. 2 runs back and no. 57 general recruit nationwide per Rivals.
