Four-star defensive end Jerod Smith, a 2024 recruit, plans to announce his commitment tomorrow. Smith has visited Notre Dame three times with his twin brother, Jacob. Both have expressed a desire to play together in college, but they're not planning to make their commitment announcements together.
It seems like one visit to Michigan may have been enough for Jerod Smith. Our Michigan site believes he will pick the Wolverines, and I tend to agree.
Notre Dame's juggling a lot of defensive line possibilities beyond commitments from four-star DT Owen Wafle and three-star OLB Cole Mullins (who ND has recruited as a DE).
Notable remaining targets:
Five-star DT Justin Scott
Four-star DE Elijah Rushing
Four-star DE Benedict Umeh (also a potential DT)
Four-star DE Loghan Thomas
Four-star DE Mylachi Williams
Four-star DE Marquise Lightfoot (outside chance)
Four-star OLB Bryce Young (recruited as a DE)
Three-star DE Anelu Lafaele
I feel great about ND's chances with Young. Cautiously optimistic on Scott.
