Top N.J. OL John Olmstead picks Notre Dame over Rutgers, Ole Miss, Michigan and Minnesota

The Fighting Irish get their guy as St. Joseph (Metuchen, N.J.) offensive lineman John Olmstead pledged to Notre Dame Friday at a commitment ceremony at his school. New Jersey’s top junior high school football recruit, Olmstead picked South Bend over 34 other offers, and interest from the majority of schools across the country. Though he recently released a top 10 and then a top 5, those in the know have projected Olmstead to Notre Dame for a long time now. He’s taken a couple visits to the school and has always seemed to feel it’s a god fit.
