School Commits • Irish running backs coach and state of Florida recruiter Tony Alford has his sights set on one of the nation's top offensive guards in Orlando (Fla.) Bishop Moore Catholic four-star Parker Boudreaux. The 6-4, 282-pound recruit picked up an offer from Notre Dame Sept. 21, to go along with offers from Arkansas, Clem- son, Miami, Oklahoma State, Penn State, Virginia, Vanderbilt and plenty of others. "It's a blessing, a true blessing," Boudreaux said. "All of these early offers are special, but a few really mean a little more than the others. I'd put Notre Dame in that mix. All the hard work has truly paid off, but it's only the beginning." Notre Dame is hoping to get him on campus prior to the end of the season, but a visit next summer for camp is a more likely scenario. Due to Boudreaux's interest in attending a school with a quality football program in addition to top-notch aca- demics, Notre Dame will likely be in the hunt to land the Sun- shine State talent throughout the duration of his recruitment. Per 247Sports, Boudreaux is the No. 145 overall recruit in the country, the No. 6 offensive guard in the nation and the No. 15 player in Florida. — Tom Loy 247 Sports rates Parker Boudreaux of Orlando (Fla.) Bishop Moore Catholic as the No. 15 player in Florida, the No. 6 offensive guard in the land and the No. 145 overall prospect in the class of 2016.
