Notre Dame Football Recruiting: 5-Star defensive end Brenan Vernon commits to the Irish

Ohio 5-Star defensive end, Brenan Vernon, committed to the 2023 Notre Dame Fighting Irish recruiting class on Tuesday afternoon — just one day after Florida 4-Star defensive end, Keon Keely, gave his pledge.

Vernon, a 6’5” 245 pounder from Mentor, Ohio, chose the Irish over the in-state power Ohio State Buckeyes, as well as the Alabama Crimson Tide, Penn State Nittany Lions, Michigan Wolverines, and others.

Evaluation from 247’s Gabe Brooks:

Tall and long-levered with tons of frame space moving forward.
