Notre Dame is in the top 12 for Wichita (Kans.) Northwest four-star defensive end Marcus Hicks along with Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Oregon, Kansas State, NC State, Washington, Florida and Texas.

Hicks was on campus at Notre Dame for Junior Day on March 3 and gave the visit rave reviews.

In the video below Hicks discusses his visit to Notre Dame and his meetings with defensive line coach Mike Elston, defensive coordinator Clark Lea and head coach Brian Kelly.

Hicks said he and Elston have a solid relationship and Elston is one of the "realest" coaches he's met in the recruiting process so far.

"He doesn't sugarcoat anything," Hicks said of Elston. "He gives me things how they are and it's nice talking to him."

Following the visit, Blue & Gold Illustrated also caught up with Hicks's father Kelvin Hicks, which can be seen in the video below.

Following the visit, Hicks said he wanted to narrow things down and take more visits, and try to find the schools that best fit what he is looking for.

"The most important things to me are academics, strength and conditioning and the relationships I have with the coaches," Hicks explained. "I also realize I have to dig deep into the actual college because coaches can come and go, but if that happens, I just have to stay and know in my mind what the college has to offer for me."

A decision timeline isn't nailed down for Hicks yet, but these 12 schools are the ones he will be focusing on through the rest of his recruiting process.
