School Commits RECRUITING NOTES • Huntington (W.Va.) Spring Valley's Wyatt Mi- lum, the nation's No. 20 offensive tackle and No. 158 overall prospect per Rivals in the 2021 class, visited Notre Dame for its game against Virginia Tech Nov. 2. Milum posted on social media that he had an "amazing" visit and was able to spend time with Irish head coach Brian Kelly and experience a thrill- ing finish inside Notre Dame Stadium. Milum has been all over the country since Sep- tember, checking out Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Notre Dame, Penn State, Virginia Tech and West Virginia (twice). He has many options to choose from, but Blue & Gold Illustrated sources believe that the Irish may hold the lead in his recruitment. • Notre Dame sent out a pair of new scholarship offers in the 2021 class Nov. 2. Atlanta Pace Acad- emy's Jayden Thomas, the No. 20 wide receiver and No. 108 overall prospect nationally per Rivals, added the Irish to his impressive offer sheet that includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and others. Thomas participated in a prospect camp at Notre Dame in the summer of 2018 and returned for the Virginia Tech game. Kelly personally delivered the offer to Thomas. Before the Virginia Tech game, Kelly also in- formed Muskegon (Wis.) High's Hunter Wohler, who is listed as the No. 6 safety and No. 199 recruit in the land by Rivals, that the Irish were offering him a scholarship. Wohler's first visit to Notre Dame was over the summer, when he camped with the Irish. • Notre Dame is expected to host some intrigu- ing young offensive line prospects for visits when Boston College comes to town Nov. 23. Edmond (Okla.) Deer Creek class of 2022 offen- sive tackle Jacob Sexton, who holds early offers from Georgia Tech, Kansas and Oklahoma, will make the trip up to South Bend. He is listed at 6-6, 308 pounds. Edina (Minn.) High class of 2021 offensive line- man Bastian Swinney will see Notre Dame as well. The 6-6, 260-pounder holds offers from California, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State, and is a for- mer teammate of Irish offensive lineman Quinn Carroll. Wauwatosa (Wis.) East offensive tackle Marcus Mbow has confirmed that he'll be visiting Notre Dame, with his trip to South Bend sandwiched between checking out Iowa and Minnesota. The 6-5, 293-pound class of 2021 recruit has interest from a handful of schools, but Iowa State is cur- rently his lone offer. — Mike Singer Follow @BGI_MikeSinger on Twitter for daily recruiting updates! The Irish sent out a new offer to Atlanta Pace Academy playmaker Jayden Thomas, the nation's No. 20 wide receiver and No. 108 overall player in the 2021 class, and he is highly interested in Notre Dame.
