Notre Dame got off to a roaring start to their Class Of 2012 by landing two commitments in the last week.
The first to pull the trigger was cornerback prospect Tee Shepard from Central East High in Fresno California. Shepard is a major commitment for the Irish at a spot where there is a huge need this upcoming recruiting term. He is a good bet to be a Top 100 ranked player nationally by recruiting services. At 6-1 175lbs , Shepard provides great size and athletic ability to matchup against larger opposing receivers.
The second to commit to the Irish Class of 2012 is offensive lineman Taylor Decker from Butler High in Vandalia Ohio. Decker is a physically massive prospect who measures 6-8 and 270lbs. Decker had 7 scholarship offers from the likes of Michigan, Wisconsin, Boston College along with his Notre Dame offer. Notre Dame running back coach Tim Hinton was the primary recruiter of Decker and the two formed a solid bond. Decker told Irish Illustrated's Jake Brown "Ever since my first visit it's been the school where I wanted to get an offer from and where I wanted to go."
Below are highlights of the first two Irish commitments to the Class of 2012. Keep in mind, the Taylor Decker highlights are from his sophomore year.
