Brian Kelly made a bold move last year for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish when he decided to make the state of Florida less of a recruiting priority than in the past — much less of a priority. Instead, the Irish were to concentrate more on Georgia and Texas.
It probably shouldn’t shock anyone that the Irish won’t sign any players from the Sunshine State in the 2019 class. Notre Dame sent out 199 offers for the ‘19 cycle, but only 9 of those were to Florida athletes. Compare that to California (33), Texas (24), and Georgia (23) and it was certainly a huge shift from the past.
