Ellenwood (Ga.) Cedar Grove class of 2023 cornerback Kayin Lee was one of around 30 new offers that the Notre Dame staff dished out on St. Patrick’s Day for its Pot of Gold recruiting initiative.

Lee received the Notre Dame offer from Irish cornerbacks coach Mike Mickens, which he didn’t see coming.

“I figured they’d offer, but I didn’t know it was going to come this early,” he said.

In the past several weeks, Lee and Mickens have kept in consistent contact, and the 5-11, 160-pounder is locked in to see Notre Dame’s campus June 1-2.

“It’s been going really well,” he said. “I talk a lot with Coach Mickens; I’m going to go up there the first week of June. I’ll be up there for a couple days with my family to see what it’s like.
