Kentucky 2027 tight end Seneca Driver plans to make a third trip to Notre Dame
After having visited campus twice this past spring and getting a Fighting Irish offer in March during 'Pot of Gold Day', the Boyle County (Danville, KY) product has stayed in touch with assistant tight ends coach Harris Bivin, offensive coordinator/tight ends coach Mike Denbrock and head coach Marcus Freeman. And he appreciates the family-like atmosphere that has been built within the program.
The 6-foot-6, 223-pounder, who is the No. 1 prospect in the state of Kentucky per the 247Sports Composite Rankings, does not have a specific date in place for his next visit, but he wants to go to a home game this fall to see how the Irish utilize their tight ends fully within the offense.
As many ND fans already know, tight end has been an integral part of the offense for quite awhile in South Bend.
Driver's offer sheet also includes power programs such as Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, Florida, Penn State and Texas, among others. But the Irish have a strong history at the position, which bodes well for them in the recruitment of Driver.

Notre Dame RB coach Ja'Juan has high praise for Kedren Young and all of his running backs
It should come as no surprise the Notre Dame football running back's coach Ja'Juan Seider is praising his group, but it wasn't like you thought he would be doing on Saturday. One of the newest additions to the Irish coaching staff hasn't been with the team long, and looks like he's going to let the players performance decide if they'll play or not. One of those guys that he believes has earned the right to see the field is redshirt-freshman Kedren Young. Seider said that 'he's a kid who's ready to play,' although he's unsure of the role that Young will have. As for the rest of the room, one thing stood out to Seider about the unit, the fact that they all stayed despite opportunities to make more money and get more playing time elsewhere. 'It's so refreshing to be unselfish,' is how he put it, as he noted that they were all waiting their time even with him coming into the program. Seider will have plenty of talent to get the ball to this fall, and it's hard to see any of the options not being solid choices.

Notre Dame football fall practice No. 3 highlights shared on social media
Notre Dame football has been putting in the work early, and over the first few days of fall practice, we've seen plenty of new developments among the players. The quarterbacks haven't started off as many of us would have liked, but we have to remember, they are both very inexperienced and going up against a top-level defense every day will only make the better. The game will slow down when they play teams that aren't as good, which should be looked at as a good aspect. On Saturday, we saw plenty of the wide receivers going up against the cornerbacks, which showed up plenty about both positions. The Irish need offensive playmakers to step up at the position, and having a deep secondary will only help the team with a potential long season. Check out some of the best Notre Dame practice videos that were shared on social media. Jordan Botelho working his way back from an injury Botelho was looking like he was set to finally break out last fall, only to suffer a season-ending knee injury against Purdue and then a pectoral injury in the off-season. While the Irish have plenty of talent at the position, like more than a few others, there isn't much experience there. Having a veteran like Botelho will be a great mid-season pickup for Notre Dame. Freshman wide receiver Elijah Burress Sure, Burress wasn't facing off against one of Notre Dame's better cornerbacks in the rep, but the showed plenty on it. Creating separation at the line, using his quick first-step to get past the defender, all while keeping his balance and finishing the play shows plenty about the son of former NFL star Plaxico. The future of the position is in good hands with Burress. Freshman cornerback Cree Thomas It's a tough task for anyone going up against Malachi Fields, but Thomas held his own in the rep. You'd like to see him not holding at the top of the route, as there is potential for that to get called a penalty. However, you see how good the footwork is to stay with his assignment, and with more seasoning, should be a good one. Freshman athlete Scrap Richardson For a guy who hasn't been focusing on the position for long, Richardson sure has the look of a player who could help the Irish down the road. The speed is there, and you love to see the adjustment made to the route after the inside was taken away. That was a veteran move, that you don't see many freshman being able to make. Multiple WR vs. DB matchups Iron sharpens iron, and in this situation, the receivers going against the defensive backs is exactly that. This is one of the reasons why the wide outs have seen such a quick jump in talent, going up against elite defenders will only make them better. It will make the next level easier as well, which I think is a big factor why Fields ended up in South Bend.
