Notre Dame landed a commitment from Traverse City (Mich.) Central inside linebacker Joshua Burnham on Wednesday, giving the Fighting Irish another four-star linebacker in the 2022 class.
Here is a breakdown of what the new addition means for the Fighting Irish.
1. Burnham is an outstanding athlete and football player. He doesn’t play against the strongest competition in northern Michigan, but Burnham is clearly a bona fide stud and is very well conditioned as he plays a lot on both sides of the ball. Burnham has All-America potential at the next level with his instincts and natural ability as an inside linebacker, but he also can pin his ears back and get after the quarterback as a defensive end. If neither of those positions work out, then Burnham could be a solid H-back with his athleticism.
