Cross Plains (Tenn.) East Robertson class of 2022 athlete Taylor Groves was committed to Michigan for a month and change before opening things back up on March 29.
Since the decommitment, he’s seen increased interest from Florida and Oregon, and several schools that offered him prior to his Wolverines’ verbal are back in pursuit of him.
“It’s been great; it’s picked back up,” Groves said. “I’m enjoying the process for sure.”
A week before Groves made his pledge to Michigan, Notre Dame offered the four-star recruit, and the Fighting Irish are one of those schools back in the mix for him. He was going to visit campus May 8 for a self-guided tour but had a family emergency come up.
He speaks regularly with Notre Dame receivers coach Del Alexander.
“It’s an at least once per week thing; we try to get on the phone every week,” Groves said. “At first, we were going over the different elements of Notre Dame football and the characteristics of the university. We started watching more of their practices in April too.
“He seems like a great coach and a guy who will push you to be the best – not just in football but as a man in life,” he added. “He gets guys to the next level, and that’s always something you want in a coach. Notre Dame is definitely on my mind.”
