The Notre Dame Football program is setting itself up for success in the future, thanks to loaded 2022 and 2023 recruiting classes.

The Notre Dame Football program is making some serious strides in the recruiting effort for the two next upcoming classes. Coach Brian Kelly has put a staff around him that is simply taking names on the recruiting trail and wasting no time in connecting with the young high school football players across the country.

Since Kelly arrived in South Bend, he has built this program back up to being a perennial winner and has won at least ten games in each of the last four seasons. They have been to two College Football Playoffs in the last three years, and have seen numerous players be selected in the NFL Draft.

However, the program has still yet to bridge the gap between them and the likes of Alabama, Ohio State, and Clemson, as they have not put on a good showing in big-time bowl games. To do that, they need to continue to build the program up, and it appears that they are doing exactly that.

Today we are going to look at both the 2022 and 2023 class, their impacts, and what the Notre Dame staff is doing differently this time around that’s paying great dividends to the program.
