Notre Dame's coast-to-coast recruiting has continued this week. The Irish have extended several offers in the last few days. ND Insider takes a closer look at some of the latest reported offers from Tuesday and Wednesday.

• DE Logan Rudolph, 6-4, 225; Rock Hill (S.C.) Northwestern: The three-star recruit reported a Notre Dame offer Tuesday night after speaking with running backs coach Autry Denson. The Irish joined a list of 30 schools to offer Rudolph including South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida State, Michigan, Texas A&M and USC.

He recorded 62 tackles, 15 sacks, nine tackles for a loss and one interception returned for a touchdown in his junior season. He added eight catches for 110 yards and one touchdown as a tight end.

Rivals ranks Rudolph as the No. 16 strongside defensive end in the 2017 class. 247Sports slates him as the No. 25 tight end.

Rudolph told ND Insider he hopes to visit Notre Dame at some point this spring or summer.
