2. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, 3-star ATH (Hampton, Va.)

The last two players on the board for Notre Dame are in the middle of heated recruiting battles with a couple of Big Ten rivals. The first is Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah who is deciding between Michigan State and Notre Dame and the word on the street is that the Spartans might just lead for him.

However, that rumor was circulating following Mark Dantonio’s in-home visit with him last week, but he followed that up with his final official to Notre Dame on Jan. 27. Anything can change when a team has the last planned visit for a certain recruit — that usually gives that team a leg up.

The National Signing Day decision will be an exciting one as Owusu-Koramoah hasn’t shown his hand just yet and it seems like both the Spartans and Fighting Irish are deadlocked in his mind. He has just a couple days to pick where he will spend the next four years of his life and he fits into both defenses.

Michigan State is recruiting him to be a linebacker/safety hybrid while Notre Dame is doing the same, potentially using him at the rover position. That’s attractive to him and that’s why those two programs are his finalists.

The 6-foot-2, 197-pound athlete is ranked the No. 336 overall prospect and 10th-best recruit from the state of Virginia, according to 247Sports. He was originally committed to Virginia before de-committing on Jan. 20.
