Over the Blue-Gold game weekend, 3-Star tight end Eli Raridon gave his commitment to Notre Dame. The 6’6” 228 pounder from West Des Moines, Iowa, chose the Irish over a strong offer list that included the Iowa Hawkeyes, Auburn Tigers, Tennessee Volunteers, Florida State Seminoles, and many more.
The Irish have had little trouble in tight end recruiting over the years as Tight End U, and that seems to be really important to Raridon — to be developed for the next level. We just saw Tommy Tremble drafted this weekend and Brock Wright sign a free agent deal with the Lions — and then there are guys like Michael Mayer, George Takacs, and even early enrollee Mitchell Evans that are ready to help the Irish in 2021.
