LOOK: Kenny Minchey, Notre Dame recruits on campus for visit weekend
Despite cold weather in South Bend Saturday afternoon, recruits on campus for Notre Dame’s 44-0 blowout victory over Boston College on senior day seemed to have a great time.
The headline recruit was Hendersonville (Tenn.) Pope John Paul II’s Kenny Minchey, the No. 240 overall player and No. 14 quarterback per the 2023 On3 Consensus, who was on campus for his official visit. He’s seen in the photo above walking to Notre Dame Stadium, and in the three more photos, he’s with a trio of Irish coaches.
Head coach Marcus Freeman embraced Minchey, receivers coach Chansi Stuckey chopped it up with the four-star signal-caller and director of recruiting Chad Bowden was tied at the hip with Minchey for much of Saturday.

Below is Hannibal (Mo.) High’s Aneyas Williams, who ranks as the No. 140 overall recruit and No. 13 running back per the 2024 On3 Consensus, with running backs coach Deland McCullough. Williams made it back to South Bend for the second time this month. Notre Dame leads for Williams according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) at 94.2 percent.
Freeman makes it a regular practice to talk to top recruits prior to kickoff, and in the photo below, he’s chatting with Rock Island (Ill.) Alleman’s Charles Jagusah, an Irish pledge who sits as the No. 40 overall prospect and No. 4 offensive tackle per the 2023 On3 Consensus.
Shrewsbury (Mass.) Senior’s Cooper Ackerman, the No. 684 overall prospect and No. 56 defensive lineman per the 2024 On3 Consensus, made it to campus for his first game day at Notre Dame. He also visited South Bend at the end of July. The Irish have yet to offer Ackerman, but Boston College, Rutgers and Connecticut have.
