Just a week ago, the Notre Dame football team was among the Final 10 teams competing for the services of 4-star running back Jonaz Walton. This week, the Irish are securing a visit from the Carrollton, Georgia prospect and it’s possible that they might be getting a commitment before the summer kicks off.
Of course, in order to get that commitment, the Irish would need to fight off some very powerful schools. It’s not clear just when Walton is looking to name a final contender but his spring visits are to some of the best of the best.
The Notre Dame football team will host the No. 11 ranked running back according to On3’s industry compilation rankings, on April 8. Before that, he’s slated to hit the Florida Gators on March 13, Alabama on April 4 and Tennessee on April 7.
Notre Dame football fighting for top-notch running back prospect Jonaz Walton
The running back has been productive since his first high school snaps, rushing for 1,644 yards and 20 touchdowns in his freshman 2022 season. He’s never run for less than 1,300 yards in a season and topped 10 TDs every campaign, according to MaxPreps.
At this point, it appears the spring visits are really a way for Walton to narrow down the list from the Top 10 he announced to possibly a Top 4. Then it’s about getting official visits and fighting a way for the Notre Dame football team to fight off those other schools and have a big win in running back recruiting.
