San Diego Cathedral Catholic athlete/safety Jordan Genmark Heath submitted his National Letter of Intent to Notre Dame on Wednesday.

Measurables
• Recorded a 4.65-second 40-yard dash, posted a time of 4.40 seconds in the shuttle and registered a 41-inch vertical jump at the Nike Football The Opening Regional in Los Angeles on Feb. 28, 2016.

• Named to The San Diego Union-Tribune’s All-San Diego Section Team following his senior year.

All-Star Games And Camps
• Participated in the Nike Football The Opening Regional in Los Angeles on Feb. 28, 2016.

Recruitment
• Flipped commitment from Cal to Notre Dame on Jan. 26, 2017.
• Was offered by Notre Dame Jan. 11, several days after the firing of the Bears’ head coach, Sonny Dykes. Was offered by Utah, Boston College, Vanderbilt, Washington State, Northwestern and Oregon State among others.
• Officially visited Notre Dame on Jan. 20, 2017.
• Main Notre Dame recruiters were defensive coordinator Mike Elko and defensive backs coach Todd Lyght.

Notable
• Originally from Sweden.

2017 Projection
• Genmark Heath’s size, strength and intelligence could allow him to earn a spot on the depth chart or special teams in his first season.

BGI football analyst Bryan Driskell: “Genmark Heath isn’t going to blow anyone away with elite athleticism, but there is a lot to like about his game. He’s a well-built defender that checked in last summer at 205 pounds with a thick, athletic frame. He has some suddenness to his game.

“Arguably his best traits are his intelligence and instincts. He makes quick reads, drives quickly on the ball and gets his hands on a lot of passes. For Notre Dame, he projects to both the field safety and rover positions.”
