On3’s Charles Power on why he ranks Notre Dame commit Brandon Logan higher than the industry

On Aug. 10, Fort Wayne (Ind.) Snider class of 2025 safety Brandon Logan announced his commitment to Notre Dame, flipping it from his Vanderbilt pledge that he decommitted from a day prior.

According to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting services — Logan ranks as the nation’s No. 699 overall player No. 60 safety.

But per On3’s own rankings, Logan is listed higher than the industry average as the No. 40 safety. Why is that the case? On3 director of scouting and rankings Charles Power explained why to Blue & Gold.

“Logan has shown some encouraging traits and skills as a football prospect,” Power said. “For starters, he has good size at around 5-11 ½, 6-foot with plus length for the position. He’s a very good athlete in terms his measurable athleticism — running in the 4.4s in the 40-yard dash — and of course he’s highly coordinated and skilled as a top baseball player.

“You can see that translate to the field. He has good instincts, really good production as a junior with 4 interceptions and jumps routes well. He’s got the overall ball skills you like to see at the position. Logan is also a willing tackler; he doesn’t shy away from contact. He drives through the ball carrier.

“From the 30,000 foot view, Logan has the physical attributes, skill set and he’s only going to get better when he spends more time with football. We’re excited to see how he continues to develop.

“It’s an interesting evaluation for Notre Dame at safety — finding a guy in their backyard with this skill set. I like the pickup for Notre Dame and looking forward to seeing Brandon Logan as a senior. There’s a lot to work with here. He has really nice upside given his physical ability, athleticism and the fact he’s been such a true multi-sport athlete. He fits well in Notre Dame’s secondary.”

The Indiana Football Coaches Association named Logan to its top-50 all-state team, plus the Summit Athletic Conference’s all-conference first-team list.

Logan helped lead Snider to a 13-1 record in 2023 and a Indiana 5A state championship. He posted 95 tackles and 6 interceptions (four which were returned for touchdowns).

He joins a Notre Dame safety class that already includes Greenwich (Conn.) Brunswick School’s Ethan Long and Winston-Salem (N.C.) Mount Tabor’s JaDon Blair .
