Gallagher smashes Notre Dame’s hope of commitment

Sometimes you’re the sledgehammer and sometimes you’re the watermelon.

Notre Dame was, indeed, the watermelon when it came to four-star wide receiver and top 100 overall player (247Sports) in the 2023 recruiting class Rodney Gallagher, who announced he plans to play college football at West Virginia.

Gallagher chose West Virginia over seven other finalists, including Notre Dame, Texas, Penn State, Oregon, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech and Pitt.

Gallagher was one of Notre Dame’s top offensive priorities in what has already been a stellar recruiting class.

Gallagher originally stated he would announce his decision on July 4, but last week decided to bump up his announcement.

Notre Dame has one wide receiver committed in its 2023 recruiting cycle. That is, of course, Braylon James of Stony Point High School in Round Rock, Texas.
