A few weeks ago, I broke down how the top wide receiver in the last 16 Notre Dame recruiting classes had fared out of a conversation sprung from the Jordan Johnson debate. It was an interesting look that forced us to rethink a few things, and in doing so, it made me curious about the other position groups.
So here we are... let’s do the linebackers. The top linebacker commit from each recruiting class since 2005 according to the 247 Composite rankings.
2005 — 3-Star Kevin Washington
Washington took a redshirt his freshman year, saw no action in 2006, and had 3 tackles combined in 2007 and 2008.
