Offensive Lineman Joe Otting Commits To Notre Dame
Notre Dame has picked up a commitment from Topeka (Kan.) Hayden offensive lineman Joe Otting, who pledged to the Irish this afternoon.
Otting received an offer from Notre Dame in early May, but it wasn't until he camped with the Irish this past week that his potential spot in the class was solidified.
Working out in front of line coach Harry Hiestand and former Irish stars like Zack Martin, Robert Hainsey, Aaron Banks and Liam Eichenberg, Otting showed that he has the skill and frame to play for the Irish.
At that point it was a no brainer for both sides, and the 6-4, 260-pound lineman quickly decided to join the class.
Otting is the third lineman to commit to Notre Dame, joining North Carolina standouts Sullivan Absher and Sam Pendleton. Absher and Pendleton both play tackle in high school, although Pendleton projects as an interior player. Otting is a pure interior player, and he plays right guard for Hayden.
A consensus three-star recruit, Otting became a priority target for both Notre Dame and Iowa this spring, which speaks volumes about his ability. Few teams, if any, produce the type of lines Iowa and Notre Dame (under Harry Hiestand) have produced.
Otting is also a standout on the basketball court, averaging 15.5 points per game this past season. His mother - Debbie - played college basketball at Washburn, so athleticism runs in the family.
The Hayden star had offers from Notre Dame, Iowa, Baylor, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa State, Kansas State and Kansas.
