Notre Dame makes offer to defensive end recruit Kennedy McDowell
Earlier this week, Notre Dame made an offer to strong-side defensive end recruit Nigel Smith. Now, the Irish have decided it’s time to continue shoring up that position for the future. Mike Elston had a conversation with Kennedy McDowell of Memorial in Frisco, Texas, and it led to an offer. From the sound of this tweet, it appears McDowell is serious about both the athletic and academic side of his collegiate career:
TGBTG! After a great conversation with @CoachMikeElston, I am humbled to announce that I have received an offer from Notre Dame to further my football and academic goals. #GoIrish @roberson_derick @FriscoMemo_FB @FMHSRecruits @twftraining @TrustMyEyesO @CoachWilliamsII pic.twitter.com/4dBYtrJbz7

Only seven programs have made offers to McDowell, so it’s obviously early in the recruiting process for him. At this point, the other schools competing for his services are Vanderbilt, Arizona State, Kansas, FIU, Colorado and SMU.
In addition to playing football, McDowell recently was a state qualifier in the 110-meter hurdles. It’s safe to say that whoever lands him is going to be getting quite an athlete. Opposing offenses are going to have to keep a close eye on him because this is a kid meant to compete at the next level and make big plays to boot.
