Two top defensive linemen visiting Notre Dame this weekend

Who's the dude next to him? Large individuals.

Paris Johnson, the top rated OL in 2020, arguably the top rated player overall. Some think he's the best OL prospect in HS football, as it stands right now. Very impressive young man.

It's who he tagged in that tweet - Paris Johnson Jr.

They land him, they'll need a bigger training table.

The area he's from (and the high school) aren't going to be very pro-ND. Had he gone to Moeller, St. X, etc. I would have felt differently about this recruitment from the start.

Visited pOSU this past weekend and will likely visit again for the pOSU/Michigan game.

Likely visiting Michigan this weekend for the Wisconsin game

Was scheduled to visit Penn St. for the pOSU game, but didn't make the trip.

Seems to have a good connection with Paris Johnson. Not sure if that will have any impact or not.

Did notice that he got to talk to Urban Meyer on the pOSU visit, but didn't get to talk to BK on the ND visit.

https://irishsportsdaily.com/s/7563/2020-defensive-outlook

This is the kind of recruitment Notre Dame is rarely in, let alone wins. But Henry’s high school head coach has deep ties to the staff in South Bend, having played and served as a GA under Brian Kelly at Cincinnati before taking a job on Jeff Quinn’s staff in Buffalo. Those connections have helped Notre Dame get the elite Ohio prospect on campus multiple times already, which has allowed the Irish to get in the mix and remain there. Ohio State is always a factor with elite in-state targets and this one is no different. Clemson is another school to keep a close eye on.

Well this turned into a non-loss. He's been carb loading. Well over 290 from pics and at least one of the services moved him to DT where he belongs.

Happier with Mills.
