Top 5 Undervalued Notre Dame Football Recruits

The Ademilola twins have been committed to the University of Notre Dame for quite some time which gave the Irish a tremendous start to the defensive line class of 2018.

The 6’3, 236 pound junior has all the skills you want to see in a recruit who will be playing the drop end role in Mike Elko’s new 4-2-5 base scheme. Justin can provide a very strong rush off of the edge, give strong run support and drop into coverage in some looks.

As his head coach at St.Peter’s Prep, Rich Hansen, told me, you can’t find players with his impressive skill set very often. Justin Ademilola shows some star potential in his film.

His technique in terms of footwork, hand placement, pad level, pass rush moves and pursuit are all advanced for a high school junior. He does a lot of work with his brother away from the program.

It’s unfortunate that his rankings don’t seem to match his talent. Justin is ranked only a 3 star by most recruiting publishers despite having such great talent and proving that he can compete and produce at a high level in a very competitive New Jersey prep school division.

It’s evident that many college programs share my thoughts on Justin Ademilola as he holds 23 offers from schools like Clemson, Michigan, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Penn State, Michigan State, UCLA and many other strong Power 5 programs.

I believe Justin is one of the better weak side defensive ends in the country and his film more than proves that. His stats last season were nothing to take lightly either. He totaled 83 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 20 QB hurries and caused a fumble.

Hopefully his rankings will see a boost in the future, but either way, he’s committed to play football at the University of Notre Dame beside his twin brother Jayson, and I’m sure he feels good about that.
