Next game — Fork Union Military Academy (8-2) • WR Corey Robinson: Reeled in a couple catches down reception in Cretin-Derham Hall's (6-3) season- ending 21-14 loss to Woodbury, which the Raiders defeated by four touchdowns just two weeks prior. • LB Doug Randolph: Had two sacks in Woodberry for 96 yards and a touchdown to help San Antonio Christian (5-3) post a 48-0 rout of San Marcos Acad- High remains a top target for Notre Dame. The Irish did not have a spot available for running back Corey Clement of Glassboro (N.J.) High — who had the Irish as a favorite coming out of the visit, but committed to Wisconsin after decommitting from Pitt. Folston, a four-star recruit, has yet to schedule any other trips after taking his first of- ficial visit to Notre Dame for the BYU game Oct. 20. The Irish still look to be in a good position, with South Florida in the mix and Oregon possibly being a contender and potential visit destination as well. Folston's recruitment will likely nudge forward • Running back Tarean Folston of Cocoa (Fla.) emy's (7-1) toppled Strong Rock Christian 69-6. Next game — Pace Academy (2-6) • LB Jaylon Smith: Ran for a touchdown in Bishop touchdown and rushed for 96 yards in a narrow 17- 15 win for Archbishop Alter (8-1) against Chaminade Julienne.

Next game — Churubusco (10-1) • QB Malik Zaire: Passed for 196 yards and a COMMITMENT UPDATES there's still plenty of time in his recruitment, Mich- igan no longer looks to be a clear favorite, and he's the type of player that the Irish will have room for until the very end. • Four-star inside linebacker Alex Anzalone of Irish are trying to lock in a visit back to campus in an effort to show him what he could be a part of after he was impressed with Notre Dame's 41-3 victory over Miami Oct. 6 at Soldier Field in Chicago. Factors working in Notre Dame's favor are that with a decision closer to National Signing Day (Feb. 6), but Irish recruiting coordinator Tony Alford con- tinues to work hard on adding him to the mix to be a difference maker on offense as a slot receiver/ running back hybrid. He's rated by 247Sports as the No. 19 player in Florida, the nation's No. 10 running back and the No. 118 overall recruit in the land. • Crete (Ill.) Crete-Monee wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, who is tabbed by 247Sports as the top player in Illinois, the country's No. 4 wide receiver and the No. 48 overall prospect nationally, still has a top five of Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Ole Miss, but Notre Dame continues to chip away at his recruitment. The Reading (Pa.) Wyomissing has been deciding be- tween his pledge to Notre Dame and his interest in Florida. After canceling his visit back to campus for the BYU game Oct. 20, he rescheduled the trip for the Sunday and Monday after the Pitt game. He had good communication with Notre Dame linebacker coach Bob Diaco leading into the trip, which he noted was "mostly about making a decision soon." He also talked to Alford, who emphasized the reasons why he chose the Irish to begin with.
