One Cretin-Derham Hall player, Michael Floyd, was so impressive at the Notre Dame camp that coach Charlie Weis made a scholarship offer through the Raiders' coaching staff. High school juniors can't be directly offered tenders until Sept. 1.
Floyd, a 6-foot-3, 193-pound wide receiver, received a private workout with Weis and former Irish quarterback Ron Powlus. Floyd, who ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at the workout, ran every route Weis and Powlus wanted and caught every pass.
Minnesota and Iowa also have offered tenders to Floyd, and because the Gophers were the first school to offer, their offer is expected to get serious consideration.
Cretin-Derham graduates who will play for Notre Dame this season are left tackle Ryan Harris, a preseason All-American who is projected as a first-round pick in next April's NFL draft; tight end Marcus Freeman; and offensive right guard Matt Carufel.
Former Irish running back Rashon Powers-Neal, also a Cretin-Derham Hall grad, will be in training camp with the Denver Broncos this summer. Carufel, who will be a freshman, has been in South Bend working out and is expected to see playing time this fall as a second-team lineman.
