Offensive Lineman Commits to Notre Dame

Notre Dame's December recruiting surge continues with yet another commitment from a California high school player.

This time it's offensive tackle Taylor Dever, who is rated No. 51 nationally by rivals.com. He is 6-6 and 289 pounds, which means he has the frame to end up well over 300 pounds. Dever chose the Irish over Nebraska, Arizona State, Miami and Oregon.

Notre Dame now has 15 oral commitments. They can't sign until February, so until then coaches can't talk about them. But this is shaping up as another top-10 class. The talent upgrade continues, so it might not be too much longer before the Irish do unto, say, USC, what the Trojans have done to them.
