This Notre Dame pledge just did something almost no top recruit does anymore

It should surprise no one that since Joey O'Brien committed to the Notre Dame football team, other schools haven't backed off at all. Such is the nature of recruiting. However, the 4-star defensive back doesn't appear to be listening to the siren song of those programs.

In fact, it's not just that he's not listening; he's also not even allowing the messages to get through. He recently showed just how committed he is to the Fighting Irish by effectively shutting down his recruitment. While some might say that should be a given, considering he's committed, that's not how this works anymore.
