Last week, Notre Dame jumped in the mix for Payton Page, a class of 2021 defensive tackle from Greensboro (N.C.) Dudley.

The 6-foot-4, 295 pound Page said adding an offer from Notre Dame was another signal that his hard work is paying off.

“It’s another step in the process for me,” Page told Blue & Gold Illustrated. “I was thankful, but I’ve got to act like I’ve been there before and be mature about it.”

Page admitted that he doesn’t know a ton about Notre Dame yet, but he is plenty familiar with the academic benefits the Irish can offer.

“You’re not going to school for football, you’re going for an education,” Page explained. “If you go there for school, you’ll be making six figures.”

With an offer list starting to stack up, Page said he’ll head out on some visits in the coming weeks, including Tennessee and Alabama.

As he begins taking visits, Page said he’ll be focusing on academics the most.

“I want to see how good the education programs are,” Page said. “I want to know they have tutors available 24/7, and I look to see how many guys they’ve sent to the league on the defensive line.”

With an offer from Notre Dame now on his list, Page said he’s eager to learn more about the Irish.

“I’d say about an 8.5 out of 10,” Page said of his interest in Notre Dame. “I like their history. I don’t know a lot, but I know it goes back far.”

So far, Page has offers from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Texas A&M, Wisconsin and others.
