Starting July 13, things were supposed to get crazy for Notre Dame on the wide receiver recruiting front.
The 13th was supposed to be the day that borderline five-star wide receiver Derek Meadows announced his college decision. Instead, Meadows is pushing his decision date back a week as he'll now announce on July 20. The announcement will be made live on the 247Sports YouTube Channel at 3 p.m. ET.
Meadows is regarded as one of the nation's top wide receivers in the 2025 recruiting cycle and will bring an NFL-like body wherever he ends up playing college football. The 6-5, 200-pound target also has elite speed as the star hurdler was named Nevada's Gatorade Track and Field Athlete of the Year last year.
Derek Meadows' List of Final Potential Schools:
Alabama Crimson Tide: Officially visited most recently on June 21, 2024
Georgia Bulldogs: Officially visited most recently on June 7, 2024

Meadows is one of three major Notre Dame 2025 wide receiver targets announcing his college decision in the next week.
