Trail Tracks: Notre Dame coaches hit the road for evaluation period (5/9)

With the conclusion of spring football at Notre Dame, the Irish coaching staff is hitting the recruiting trail for the spring evaluation period.

During this evaluation period, which runs through May 31, Notre Dame's assistant coaches can be involved in off-campus activities designed to evaluate the academic qualifications and athletic ability of recruits. This typically involves visits to high schools to see recruits in workouts, practices or other sporting events.

In-person, off-campus contact is not allowed to be made between the assistant coaches and the recruits they're evaluating. Head coaches are not allowed on the recruiting trail during the spring evaluation period.

Inside ND Sports will track where Notre Dame’s coaches are expected throughout the evaluation period. This story includes where the Irish coaches are expected to be Tuesday, according to sources. This list may not be comprehensive, but it will be updated on The Insider Lounge as visits are reported.

O'Leary is expected to be recruiting in Utah. That means he'll be visiting American Fork High for 2024 safety target Davis Andrews. When O'Leary and head coach Marcus Freeman visited American Fork in January, it resulted in a scholarship offer for Andrews. Now he's one of Notre Dame's best chances to add another safety to the 2024 class.

Andrews visited Notre Dame for the Blue-Gold Game and plans to return for an official visit.

Mickens is expected to be recruiting in Arizona. His scheduled includes trips to Gilbert Casteel for 2024 cornerback target Jeremiah Newcombe and Phoenix Brophy Prep for 2025 cornerback target Cree Thomas.

Notre Dame has continued to express interest in Newcombe, a four-star recruit, despite his verbal commitment to Oklahoma in March. Thomas attends the same school that sent cornerback Benjamin Morrison to Notre Dame. Thomas visited Notre Dame in April.
