Notre Dame Commits Show Massive Upside In Week Five
Over the weekend, Notre Dame suffered a heart breaking defeat 17-14 to the Ohio State Buckeyes. That loss stung but showed a lot of talent and resiliency to get excited about moving forward for the Irish program.
The future of Notre Dame football was also on full display from the high school ranks. Here are the top performances from the Irish commits this w
QB CJ CARR, SALINE (Mich.) HIGH SCHOOL
RESULT: Saline 42, Monroe 35
Carr was tremendous during Saline’s 42-35 victory over Monroe. The senior completed 25 of 28 passes for 374 yards and three touchdowns through the air. Carr also rushed for another two touchdowns in the victory.
RB KEDREN YOUNG, LUFKIN (Texas) HIGH SCHOOL
RESULT: Forney 42, Lufkin 21
Lufkin unfortunately lost their second straight game on Friday to Forney 42-21. The top two quartebacks for Lufkin were lost during the contest, forcing Young to make plays behind center. As you would expect, he did just that.
RB ANEYAS WILLIAMS, HANNIBAL (Mo.) HIGH SCHOOL

Hannibal was leading 55-0 at halftime of this contest. Williams’ talents were on full display during the victory. He ended the night with five total touchdowns, including two rushing, two receiving and an interception return.
WR CAM WILLIAMS, GLEN ELLYN (Ill.) GLENBARD SOUTH
RESULT: Glenbard South 63, Bartlett 21
Cam Williams continues to make big plays each and every week. In limited opportunities, Williams hauled in four receptions for 170 yards and three touchdowns. If you don’t already have him as a five star, you need to change that immediately.
WR LOGAN SALDATE, SALINAS (Calif.) PALMA
RESULT: Monterey 22, Palma 15
Despite coming out with the loss, Saldate provided all of the scoring on the day for Palma, scoring two touchdowns. That included three receptions for 27 yards through the air and three carries for 13 yards.
WR MICAH GILBERT, CHARLOTTE (N.C.) CHRISTIAN
RESULT: Charlotte Christian 38, Cabarrus 3
Explosive plays were not needed from Gilbert during Charlotte Christian’s 38-3 victory over Cabarrus. The talented pass catcher did still haul in seven receptions for 70 yards on the day.
TE JACK LARSEN, CHARLOTTE (N.C.) CATHOLIC
RESULT: Independence 31, Charlotte Catholic 10
Unfortunately Charlotte Catholic suffered their second defeat of the season, falling to Independence 31-0. Larsen had just one reception on the day but it was a tremendous 30 yard grab down the seam.
OT STYLES PRESCOD, FISHERS (Ind.) HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN
RESULT: Hamilton Southeastern 34, Zionsville 24
Hamilton Southeastern got back to their winning ways on Friday, defeating Zionsville 34-24 to move to 5-1. On Friday they will take on Noblesville (3-3) at home. The team will continue to depend on Prescod behind his massive senior season.
OL PETER JONES, MALVERN (Pa.) PREP
RESULT: Malvern Prep 17, Rock Creek Christian 16
Malvern Prep won a thriller over Rock Creek Christian on Friday. A last second field goal propelled them to a 17-16 victory as time expired. Jones and his talented squad will travel to take on The Hun School (3-0) on Friday.
DE BRYCE YOUNG, CHARLOTTE (N.C.) CHRISTIAN
RESULT: Charlotte Christian 38, Cabarrus 3
Young turned in another really good performance during Charlotte Christian’s 38-3 victory over Cabarrus. On the day, the senior recorded five total tackles, a tackle for loss, a sack and four quarterback hurries. Young continues a very strong senior campaign.
DE LOGHAN THOMAS, LAKEWOOD (Ohio) ST. EDWARD
RESULT: St. Edward 42, River Rouge 6
The St. Edward defense dominated River Rouge, allowing just 160 total yards of offense. Thomas blocked a punt during this contest. He also recorded eight tackles from his defensive end position.
LB BODIE KAHOUN, ROANOKE (Va.) PATRICK HENRY
RESULT: Salem 24, Patrick Henry 7
Despite the 24-7 loss to Salem, Kahoun continued his massive senior campaign. During this game, he collected 17 total tackles (9 solo, 8 assists) and three tackles for loss. Patrick Henry held a very talented Salem offense to 146 total yards of offense on the day. It was the Patrick Henry offense that contributed to the lopsided scoreboard, throwing two pick sixes during the contest.
LB TEDDY REZAC, OMAHA (Neb.) WESTSIDE
RESULT: Westside 41, Norfolk 0
Another week, another dominant performance by Westside. During the recent 41-0 victory over Norfolk, Rezac made plays on both sides of the ball. On defense, he collected three tackles and offensively he hauled in three receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown. That includes a 42 yard gain for a score.
CB KARSON HOBBS, CINCINNATI (Ohio) ARCHBISHOP MOELLER
RESULT: Archbishop Moeller 28, LaSalle 20
Hobbs was rarely tested against LaSalle. During that contest, he was targeted five times and gave up zero receptions. After an early struggle to start the season, Archbishop Moeller is playing much better football over the last couple of games.
S TAEBRON BENNIE-POWELL, WEST CHESTER (Ohio) LAKOTA WEST
RESULT: Lakota West 34, Sycamore 14
Bennie-Powell hauled in an interception during Lakota West’s dominant 34-14 victory over Sycamore. So far the senior has been putting together a tremendous final campaign. He looks like the Irish may have gotten a steal.
S KENNEDY URLACHER, CHANDLER (Ariz.) HIGH SCHOOL
RESULT: Chandler 24, Highland 22
Urlacher had a really nice outing during the team’s 24-22 victory over Highland on Friday. The talented safety finished with seven total tackles, half a tackle for loss and a pass breakup. He has made disruptive plays in the passing game two straight weeks now.
