3. Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa, 4-star DE (Kapolei, Hawaii)

Another kid who recently took a visit to Notre Dame was four-star defensive end Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa from Hawaii. The uncommitted prospect was offered by Notre Dame just three weeks ago and he already scheduled a visit to South Bend. His final trip before National Signing Day was to Vanderbilt, however.

The Fighting Irish have been making the defensive line a priority in this class, it seems, with the commitments of Darnell Ewell, Kurt Hinish and Jonathon MacCollister, but there’s still room for a guy like Tagovailoa-Amosa.

It’s not easy to get in on a kid’s recruitment in the final month and have this great of a chance to land him, but Brian Kelly has been doing an impressive job reeling him in after just a few weeks of hard recruiting.

The 6-foot-4, 270-pound strong-side defensive end from Hawaii doesn’t play the most elite talent in the country, but it’s easy to see why he’s so highly coveted. He’s strong, quick off the ball and has ideal size for a defensive end. Notre Dame has been known for its defense over the past few years and he could be a nice piece for the future.

Tagovailoa-Amosa is also being courted by USC, Vanderbilt and Oregon but the Fighting Irish seem to be leading for him. He’s ranked the No. 247 overall prospect, 10th-best strong-side defensive end and second-best Hawaii recruit, according to 247Sports.
