With IMG Academy’s disruptive five-star DT David Stone off the board and committed to Oklahoma<\/a>, college programs will be shifting their attention to other highly-ranked defensive linemen in the recruiting class of 2024.<\/p>\n

One such prospect to keep an eye on is Simeon (Ill.) four-star edge Chris Burgess Jr., who has offers from 31 different schools. According to\u00a0Adam Gorney at Rivals,<\/a> Notre Dame is “definitely” a major contender.<\/p>\n

“All of Burgess\u2019 games are on Saturdays this year which makes putting together a visit schedule problematic but the 2025 four-star defensive end from Chicago (Ill.) Simeon has two huge matchups already on the calendar. Notre Dame\u00a0is definitely a major contender for Burgess and he will be in South Bend when the Irish host\u00a0Ohio State\u00a0as he will double-dip with the Buckeyes since he\u2019s seeing them again when they visit\u00a0Michigan to close out the regular season.”<\/p>\n

Depending on which of the four major recruiting services you look at, Burgess (6-foot-4, 241 pounds) ranks as high as No. 2 in overall in Illinois, No. 9 at edge and No. 114 nationally.<\/p>\n

While his rankings are pretty consistent, Burgess’ recruitment seems to be wide open. On3’s prediction model<\/a> currently has Notre Dame as a weak favorite at 29.1%, followed by Illinois (20.5%), Michigan (17.6%) and Ohio State (7.5%).<\/p>\n

The Fighting Irish could certainly use a shot in the arm for their class of 2024. After ranking in the top five earlier in the cycle, they’ve stagnated and sunk to No. 12 in the nation.<\/p>\n
