Recruiting Update Live from Cedar Rapids

ND From the Bleachers was in close proximity today for the announcement from 4-star athlete Christian French of John F. Kennedy high school. The 6'-6" recruit picked the Oregon Ducks over the Irish and in-state Iowa Hawkeyes.

Originally recruited as a LB or TE due to his massive size, French wanted to only play WR in college. By the time Kelly adjusted his recruitment, it was too late. While Notre Dame was in his top three schools, ND still appeared to be a long shot in third place.

Our exclusive source in Cedar Rapids commented, "I've seen (Christian French) play, and to be honest, I wasn't that impressed. It was obvious to me that he took plays off." Certainly not a RKG by Brian Kelly standards.

Nonetheless, the IRISH already have secured commitments from stud linebacker Jarrett Grace from Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as five defensive ends, some of whom will transition to the linebacker position.
