Notre Dame’s fifth commitment of the 2023 class is in, with Miami Gulliver Prep four-star running back Sedrick Irvin Jr. pledging to join the Fighting Irish.
Here is a breakdown of what the new addition means for the Irish.
1. Notre Dame running backs coach Lance Taylor clearly has a type, and it’s running backs with a ton of versatility. To me, Irvin’s game is a mix of Notre Dame class of 2022 commit Jadarian Price and sophomore running back Chris Tyree. They all have similar body types as well.
Irvin has three-down back ability in his game and Price does as well. They’re both very well-rounded players. Irvin doesn’t have the speed of Tyree as a straight-line runner, but his quick cuts up field and lack of wasted movements remind me of Tyree. Irvin will thrive at Notre Dame and he will get a lot better as a runner by the time he gets to South Bend.
