Notre Dame’s offensive staff is looking to add an elite group of offensive skill players to its roster with the 2020 class, and today the Irish took their final step to making that happen.
Today, Notre Dame picked up Omaha (Neb.) Burke wide receiver Xavier Watts. Watts is listed by Rivals as a three-star recruit, but he graded out as a four-star on my wide receiver board, and he was a major priority recruit for the Irish staff. He certainly wasn't recruited like a typical three-star player.
Watts earned offers from Michigan, Nebraska, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Iowa, Northwestern, Louisville, Purdue, Kansas State, Iowa State, Minnesota and Kansas.
A look at what his commitment means for Notre Dame.
CLASS IMPACT
Notre Dame wants to add at least three receivers in this class, and since it’s such a deep year at the position it could easily get to four wideouts. The fact Notre Dame landed just two wideouts in the 2019 class adds to the need for three and room for four.
