To show you how the game of recruiting has changed in college football -- word leaked yesterday that the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish had made a verbal offer to a high school freshman football star in Florida! His name is Sony Michel -- and as an eighth grader he was clocked in the 100 meters at 10.9. He's scheduled to graduate from American Heritage High School in Plantation, FL in June of 2014.
Besides Notre Dame -- Florida State and Miami, FL have already made offers. Here's a link to highlights of his eighth grade football season and his recent freshman football season.
