Notre Dame got off to an outstanding start recruiting the 2018 class, scoring a commitment from consensus 5-star quarterback Phil Jurkovec in May and luring in touted running back Markese Stepp earlier this month.
On Sunday, the Fighting Irish’s hot start to recruiting rising juniors got even hotter when they landed a package deal.
Twin brothers Justin and Jayson Ademilola are the latest football prospects to pledge to Notre Dame. The two defensive recruits from Jersey City, N.J., helped bolster an Irish class that is now ranked No. 3 in the country, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
