Notre Dame Lands 2022 Defensive End Aiden Gobaira

Notre Dame received a commitment from 2022 defensive end Aiden Gobaira

Notre Dame picked up a commitment from Chantilly (Va.) High School defensive end Aiden Gobaira. The Fighting Irish beat out Penn State for the talented edge defender.

Gobaira is considered a three-star recruit by the national services due mainly to him not playing football as a junior due to the state of Virginia canceling the season. That prevented him from rising up the rankings, but when you pop in the film there is a lot to like about Gobaira's game.

At 6-6 and 230 pounds, Gobaira has the length and frame that Notre Dame covets along the line. He's just scratching the surface of what he can be, and his upside is as good as just about any end on the board for Notre Dame. This is the kind of end prospect Notre Dame has made a living on in recent seasons.

Landing Gobaira gives Notre Dame its second defensive end in the class, as the Chantilly standout joins St. Louis (Mo.) John Burroughs star Tyson Ford. Notre Dame now has six commits in the 2022 class, as the Irish have also landed offensive linemen Joey Tanona and Ty Chan, tight end Jack Nickel and linebacker/athlete Nolan Ziegler.

Gobaira also picked up offers Virginia, Virginia Tech, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Kentucky, Boston College, Michigan State, Duke, Minnesota, Indiana, Arizona State, Rutgers, Syracuse and Vanderbilt.
