After publishing my Heat Index update this morning, I received some feedback on another recruit that Notre Dame feels really good about heading into a visit this weekend: four-star cornerback Trystan Haynes.
The No. 18 cornerback and No. 205 overall prospect in the 2025 class will be making his first visit to Notre Dame this weekend. But before the visit occurs, Haynes has also scheduled an official visit to Notre Dame for June 14-16. His other planned official visits are Miami, Texas A&M and Oklahoma.
I did a little more digging to see if folks in Oklahoma were convinced that he'd leave his home state and didn't receive any pushbask on that. That gives me the green light to submit a FutureCast prediction for Haynes to eventually pick Notre Dame.
So what does that mean for the two cornerback targets — Mark Zackery and Dallas Golden — who Notre Dame's already had a lot of momentum with? That remains to be seen. There's a chance that it leaves one cornerback from this trio without a spot. Neither Zackery nor Golden has been willing to pull the commitment trigger, so Notre Dame keeps pushing for other talented cornerbacks.
For the time being, I'm keeping my FutureCasts to ND still in for Zackery and Golden. I feel slightly better about ND's chances for Zackery than Golden, but if I switch a pick, I have to pick another school. And I'm not ready to do that for either of them.
As always, our Inside ND Sports subscribers learn about my FutureCasts first on The Insider Lounge. I'll formally submit the pick tomorrow.
