Elite 2026 WR Devin Carter on why Notre Dame is a 'top contender' for him

"Coach [Mike] Denbrock — I got to meet him last year at LSU, and I liked him there. When I heard he was going to Notre Dame, that automatically made them a top contender for me because of his offense and how he gets his playmakers the ball in their hands."

Their verticals suck.

Their verticals suck.

That’s the only thing I took away from that.

Who has a 30” vertical? Is gravity especially strong in NE Indiana?

Fort Wayne is quietly becoming a nice little recruiting area for ND over the years

Would be nice to keep pesky OSU away from it though

2nd fastest growing metro in the Great Lakes Region and a plethora of high level training options for athletes now. A great combo to generate the nice talent boon.

How can you go wrong with a name like Jett! Notre Dame Building An Early Bond With Elite Athlete Jett Washington And he's the nephew of the late great Kobe Bryant to boot!

I’ve had his profile half built for months. Definitely liked the vibe earlier but it definitely tapered off. Was hoping He and Meadows would feed off each other and trend towards ND.

Outstanding Irish Invasion TE Gavin Mueller discusses Notre Dame football recruiting journey

The guy hasn't even played high school football, but already has offers - first from Marshall (on May 1), followed by Cincinnati, Indiana, Minnesota and Purdue. From the article, he played football his whole life but decided to focus on basketball only once entering high school.

He's definitely an intriguing prospect. He moves really well for a 6'6 guy. Likely a name to watch.

A McGlinchey as an ATH... Maybe a PWO? Tom McGlinchey Gets First Taste Of Notre Dame As A Recruit

In the past, I'd have said you'd have to give him a scholarship to land him (cuz he's gonna end up with a bunch of DI offers - has Duke already) but when your brother's a multi-millionaire legacy and NIL is the law of the land, anything's possible.
