Notre Dame got some bad news on Saturday.
Markese Stepp, a long-time Notre Dame commit and four-star running back from Indianapolis Cathedral, announced via Twitter that he has de-committed from Notre Dame and re-opened his recruitment.
Stepp committed to Notre Dame on June 19, 2016, and was a vocal recruiter for the Irish for a long time.
At running back, Notre Dame still has one commitment from Sanford (N.C.) Lee County three-star Jahmir Smith.
Stepp's de-commitment bumps Notre Dame's commitment number in the class of 2018 to 18.
