Definitely on Offer Watch.

Has 4 ND CB's on 247. Grandson of Irish legend Thom Gatewood. Ran a reported 4.59 and recorded a 37" vert at recent PSU camp. That's big time for a guy his size. Potentially an inside linebacker also.

Good reads about the pair below.

I love this kids film. Runs hard and is a beast to bring down. He looked like Jim Brown against that competition. Not afraid of contact but can truck you, too. Kind of guys Alabama gets every year. Be happy if we get this one.

BobbyMac · Jun 29, 2015

Those are very good Sparq numbers. Better than Ahmir Mitchell's.

He impressed Denson at Irish Invasion. My guess is they watch film of Irish Invasion and then if he has a big first 3-4 games on his season, an offer will be coming very quickly.

The only knock is he plays really bad competition, but he does make them look like boys.

rtrn2glory · Jun 29, 2015

love the tape, and the numbers.

incredible how much traction the staff has for 2017 compared to 2016

Bogtrotter07 · Jun 29, 2015

Sign this kid up, and get him to move!

Regardless of his Grandfather being Thom Gatewood...

Looks like a Notre Dame player.

Dear staff,

Why waste your time and thousands of ND faithful's time who follow recruiting online throughout the year? Please just give AJ and Biaggio their offers now and quit delaying the inevitable.

Looks like #2 on the other team really doesn't want to be there.

TheTurningPoint · Oct 14, 2015

His 2015 highlight is unreal haha. Bad competition, but it looks like an NFL player playing high school kids.

stlnd01 · Oct 14, 2015

Hey now, I played in his conference in high school (actually so did Justin Yoon).
But, yeah, the whole league sends one or two kids to FBS programs a year. Boston-area prep schools aren't exactly big-time ball. Still, he looks like a good one.

Haha, wasn't a shot at Massachusetts football!

P_Rose · Jan 12, 2016

Any chance AJ comes to junior day?

TheTurningPoint · Jan 12, 2016

I doubt it. I think he wants to see where ND stands with him before he makes that trip.

BobbyMac · Jan 12, 2016

He camped last summer. They've seen him and worked him out. If they want him, they need to set up that official and make a push.

Bigger fish to fry, plus with taking Jones I don't know how quickly they will be to offer a "bigger" back

Irish Man3 · Jan 13, 2016

I would like to see an offer here. We've seen how quickly your RB core can go from a strength to a question mark.

anarin · Jan 13, 2016

I can't be the only one that thought Corey Dillon was his dad right? They look alike lol (but Corey might not be old enough)

Kaneyoufeelit · Jan 17, 2016

Junior Season Highlights. He runs a little like Elijah Hood. Competition looks gross but he looks like he would be a nice addition to what will be a strong 2017 class.

Luckylucci · Jan 17, 2016

Very cool, congrats AJ.

Sounds like this is something he really wanted.

GoIrish41 · Jan 17, 2016

Great offer. Love the kid's tape.

Ironman8 · Jan 17, 2016

He's being recruited as an Athlete. May most likely wind up at LB.
