Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team has secured a commitment from 5-Star kicker Owen Davies, according to a recent announcement. Davies, who received his 5-Star ranking from the prestigious Kohls Kicking organization, is the first commitment for Notre Dame's 2028 class. This move comes as the team addresses last season's kicking issues, which were resolved through the transfer portal. The Irish are continuing to recruit top talent from the high school ranks, and Davies' commitment is a significant boost to the team's future prospects. As a freshman, Micah Drescher has already arrived on campus, and Davies' addition will provide a strong kicking duo for the team. Former Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly, who has been involved with the Memphis Tigers, has expressed his support for the team's recruiting efforts. The Notre Dame football fanbase is known for its large and widespread presence, and the team's social media presence on X is also notable. The Irish are up there, and fans are eagerly anticipating the team's future performances.
