Notre Dame pushes to land Illinois’ rising star as recruiting momentum builds

The Notre Dame football team is starting fall camp, but that doesn't mean it's slowing down its pursuit of 2027 prospects. One of the latest players to land on Marcus Freeman and Co.'s radar is Quentin Burrell.

Burrell is the No. 3 player in the state of Illinois, the No. 8 wide receiver, and No. 49 overall player in the class of 2027 according to the Rivals Industry Rankings. The 4-star prospect out of Mount Carmel (Chicago, IL) has offers from a ton of Big Ten programs, but at the moment, the Fighting Irish look like the best offer and are the slight leader in the clubhouse among On3 analysts.
