Tracking the Trail: Notre Dame Lands One Five-Star, Loses Out on Another

Irish Illustrated’s Tracking the Trail returns with host Drew Mentock and senior recruiting analyst Eric Thomas. The duo discusses Notre Dame’s newest five-star, Abraham Sesay. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound edge rusher out of Downingtown East High School in Exton, Penn., represents the No. 22 overall prospect and No. 5 defensive end in the class of 2027, according to 247Sports’ rankings. Of course, it wasn’t all good news this week for the Fighting Irish. IMG Academy linebacker Amarri Irvin flipped to Virginia Tech, and blue-chip linebacker Kaden Henderson committed to Texas A&M on Thursday. Another top target might also be trending away from Notre Dame. Lastly, Eric and Drew dive into where the Irish go from here.
