Notre Dame had a highly successful recruiting weekend, despite various recruiting rankings, securing five total Class of 2017 commitments including 4-star linebackers Pete Werner and David Adams.

The Fighting Irish racked up on the defensive side of the ball. In addition to Pete Werner and David Adams, Notre Dame also landed St. Thomas Aquinas linebacker Drew White and Central Catholic defensive tackle Kurt Hinish, a teammate of Adams.

The lone offensive addition was Cedar Hill, Texas, dual-threat quarterback Avery Davis. In 2015, Davis passed for 2,148 yards with 25 touchdowns against just four picks and rushed for 873 yards with 13 scores.

Notre Dame now has nine verbal commitments to their 2017 recruiting class.
