Report: Notre Dame will host SMU wide receiver commit this weekend

It’s safe to say it is flip season in college football recruiting, with Notre Dame football already having been part of the highs and low.

The Irish have flipped a few like safety Brandon Logan and cornerback Antavious Richardson, but have seen a few get flipped like quarterback Deuce Knight, and safety Ivan Taylor.

It’s a rollercoaster of emotions at his point of the recruiting calendar, and Notre Dame is trying to take advantage of it. While SMU has gotten off to a 5-1 hot start also with a win over Louisville, it seems like they are a program on the rise.

However, the Irish are one of the few programs that have national pull, and they’re using it to try and lure wide receiver Jalen Cooper away from the Mustangs. A visit to South Bend this weekend on deck according to this report by Rivals Marshall Levenson, an opportunity to flip his commitment. The 6-foot, 1-inch and 165-pound pass catcher is a 4-star, ranking as the No. 250 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Notre Dame currently has two wide receiver commits, Jerome Bettis Jr. and Elijah Burress, and it’s been pretty clear they want a third. Logan could play there as well, but it looks like he’ll start his career on the defensive side of the ball.

Hopefully this coming weekend’s trip shows Cooper all he needs and eventually joins the Irish 2025 recruiting class.
