Notre Dame football has made a big footprint in the state of Illinois, and that continued on Friday afternoon.
The Irish landed a massive commitment, as defensive lineman David Folorunsho made his verbal. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 280-pounder picked Notre Dame over Miami, Georgia and Texas Tech. He’s ranked as the nation’s No. 43 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite, giving the Irish yet another mauler in the middle of their defensive line.
