4. Jafar Armstrong, 4-star WR (Mission, Kansas)

Flipping commits is never easy, but that looks to be the case with Missouri four-star receiver commit Jafar Armstrong from Mission, Kansas. He took an official visit to Notre Dame on Jan. 27 and the tides seem to be turning in the favor of the Fighting Irish.

In fact, that visit by Armstrong to Notre Dame may have been the reason he de-committed from Missouri on Sunday. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound receiver is one of the top uncommitted prospects left in the class and Notre Dame is looking to add another wide out.

Michael Young, a three-star from Louisiana, is the only wide receiver currently committed to the Fighting Irish in the 2017 class and they are looking to add one, maybe two, more. Armstrong seems like the best bet to pick Notre Dame before signing day.

P.J. Fleck of Minnesota has been making a run at Armstrong as well, but the overwhelming prediction is the four-star wide out to Notre Dame.

Armstrong ranks as the No. 254 overall prospect and the 33rd-best wide receiver in the class, according to 247Sports. A decision from Armstrong will likely come on National Signing Day.
