Notre Dame’s 17th commitment of the 2022 class is in, with Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic class of 2022 defensive back Jayden Bellamy pledging to the Fighting Irish.

1. There are three words to describe Bellamy as a football player — speedy, athletic and versatile. Bellamy played sparingly on offense last season, but averaged 24.3 yards per catch and took three of his eight receptions to the end zone. He took a screen pass 84 yards to the house, running by a handful of defenders. Defensively, Bellamy can do it all. His one knock is his size; if he were 6-1, I think he’d be a five-star player. He’s 5-11 and has a slender build, but his instincts and cover ability are outstanding.
