Notre Dame QB commit Phil Jurkovec featured in 2018 Rivals 100
IRISH STEW
Phil Jurkovec was Notre Dame's lone commit to appear in the updated 2018 Rivals 100, which was released Monday.
A 6-foot-5, 202-pound quarterback, Jurkovec appeared at No. 57 in the updated rankings, behind seven other quarterbacks.
Notre Dame's five other 2018 commits — linebacker Bo Bauer, linebacker Ovi Oghoufo, outside linebacker Justin Ademilola, defensive tackle Jayson Ademilola and running back Markese Stepp — did not make the top 100. Only Jurkovec and Bauer currently have rankings from Rivals, both being assessed as four-star recruits.
Jurkovec, Stepp, Bauer and the Ademilola brothers are all ranked as four-star recruits by 247Sports. Oghoufo is currently unranked by both services.
Notre Dame's six commits are by far the most the program has had this early in a recruiting cycle in the Brian Kelly era.
