FOOTBALL RECRUITING ing football program. If you leave with a degree from there, you are set for life." Dillon and Adams aren't the only prospects on the visitors list that the Irish want. Notre Dame is also trying to lock up its quarterback in the class, which is why Davis returns after visit- ing Nov. 14 for the Wake Forest game. He doesn't have a set list of leaders, but Notre Dame is at the top according to multiple contacts in his camp. The Irish are expected to host Greensboro (N.C.) Dudley three-star quarterback Hendon Hooker for the Junior Day as well, and he also holds an offer from the Irish. While Davis could be a prospect that's on commit watch, he isn't the only one that might pull the trigger while on campus. Notre Dame is also high on Thomas, who is making the trek to South Bend for the first time. He visited Tennessee March 5, but told Blue & Gold Illustrated that he's a fan of offensive line coach Harry Hiestand. ✦ VISITORS LIST FOR MARCH 19 JUNIOR DAY Rankings from Rivals TARGETS • David Adams, LB, Pittsburgh Central Catholic –– Four stars, No. 5 recruit in Pennsylvania, and No. 4 inside linebacker and No. 100 overall prospect in the country • Chaz Ah You, S, Saratoga Springs (Utah) Westlake –– Four stars, No. 2 recruit in Utah, and No. 11 safety and No. 115 overall prospect in the nation • Tarik Black, WR, Cheshire (Conn.)
