Notre Dame’s 5-star flip hopes get a jolt after a ridiculous Week 1 showcase

On the same weekend that Notre Dame football commit Noah Grubbs led his team to a big come-from-behind win, one of the program's top running back targets had himself a monster game as well. Kemon Spell might be a Penn State commit at the moment, but the Fighting Irish are pulling out all the stops to try and flip him. He showed why once again in his first game of his high school senior season.

The 5-star running back from McKeesport High School (Pa.) racked up 292 yards rushing and four touchdowns on just 13 carries, as well as a 98-yard kick return score, to help his Tigers rout Delaware Valley 51-24 in the season opener.
