Notre Dame landed a commitment from four-star quarterback Kenny Minchey on Tuesday, finishing the flip of the former Pittsburgh commitment who plays at Pope John Paul II outside Nashville. The Irish offered Minchey over the summer after failing to close the deal with five-star quarterback Dante Moore, a one-time silent commitment to Notre Dame who ultimately committed to Oregon.
It would be an understatement to say quarterback recruiting this cycle has been disjointed for Notre Dame, which chased Chris Vizzina (Clemson) and Jackson Arnold (Oklahoma) before focusing on Moore. After the Moore shock, the Irish dropped down their list to pursue Avery Johnson (Kansas State), Austin Novosad (Baylor) and Minchey as the recruiting calendar moved into the football season. And when junior CJ Carr decided not to reclassify from the 2024 class just week ago, it made chasing down Minchey in the ’23 cycle even more important.
Minchey is a four-star prospect on 247Sports, On3 and ESPN, rated as high as No. 182 overall (ESPN). Rivals listed Minchey as a three-star prospect and the nation’s No. 14 overall quarterback prospect.
Minchey also listed offers from Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia and Virginia Tech.
