Notre Dame offers USC commit Devin Brown

Notre Dame has extended an offer to Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon four-star quarterback and USC commit Devin Brown.

The news was reported by Mike Singer from BGI. Brown has not publicly announced his offer.

Notre Dame is the not the first USC rival to swoop in and try to flip Brown this fall. Following Clay Helton’s firing, crosstown rival UCLA extended an offer to Brown. Texas, Ole Miss and Ohio State would also offer the elite quarterback. Brown was on a visit to Ohio State this past weekend.

The Fighting Irish have the No. 6 recruiting class in the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking and one quarterback already committed in Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic four-star Steve Angeli.

But Notre Dame is interested in potentially adding a second quarterback to the class. It has also offered Lafayette (La.) St. Thomas More four-star quarterback and LSU commit Walker Howard.

Devin Brown had a standout senior season

The On3 Consensus – a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies – has Brown as the No. 47 overall recruit in the country and sixth-best quarterback.

In the updated 2022 On300 ranking released Monday, Brown was the No. 27 overall recruit and No. 2 quarterback behind Medina (Ohio) five-star quarterback and Penn State commit Drew Allar.

On3 National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton wrote about Brown in his list of big risers in the latest update of the On300.

“Brown made a big move from No. 63 to 27 in the latest ranking,” Hamilton said. “The USC verbal commitment that has made visits to Ole Miss, Texas and Ohio State put together a tremendous campaign. Brown displayed the ability to make every throw. He passed for 4,881 yards and 57 touchdowns in 14 games and added 430 rushing yards and eight scores. Brown’s high school career ended with 386 passing yards and 103 rushing yards in a 49-42 loss to Lone Peak.”
