Notre Dame's Darieon Prescott on Joining the Irish: "It Was a No-Brainer
Notre Dame has landed a significant recruiting coup, as 2028 Illinois 5-star edge Darieon Prescott committed to the Irish on Monday.
Prescott, ranked No. 18 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite, is an elite pass-rusher who stands at 6-foot, 5-inches and 255-pounds. The Irish are adding a top talent to their roster.
It's worth noting that Prescott received an early offer from Notre Dame, one of the first schools to believe in him. This played a significant role in his decision-making process.
According to Prescott, "I got one of my first major offers, it was from Notre Dame. They were one of the first schools to believe in me… at the end of the day, Notre Dame is home. I always felt that way every time I visited." He emphasized the importance of the relationships he formed with the coaching staff.
The commitment is a testament to the recruiting prowess of head coach Marcus Freeman, who has been instrumental in landing top talent for the Irish.
Notre Dame's ability to attract top prospects from neighboring states has become a hallmark of the program. The Irish are consistently competing for the best players in the region.
Prescott's decision to join the Irish is a significant win for the program, especially considering the early stage of the 2028 recruiting process.
The Irish will look to build on this momentum as they continue to recruit and prepare for the upcoming season.
