Really excited after reading this kid committed to us, doesn't look like any QB is going to be able to get complacent anytime soon:
From the Irish turning point Facebook page.Blake Barnett becomes the second verbal to the 2015 Notre Dame Fighting Irish recruiting class, joining Offensive Tackle, Jerry Tillery.
Notre Dame beat out UCLA and other Pac-12 schools for the prospect whose recruitment was sure to go national swiftly. Barnett was offered on an un-official visit to Notre Dame for the USC game, and returned this weekend for BYU.
The 6’4” 200 pound quarterback out of Corona is a true dual-threat and has been compared to Marcus Mariota, with a more polished arm at this point in their careers. And while he began his recruitment as a 3 star prospect, he quickly became considered one of the best quarterback prospects in the nation after a stellar junior year and inside sources claiming he is the best high school quarterback in the nation, not just his class.
Barnett has been working with QB guru, Steve Clarkson, one of the best QB coaches in the country. Clarkson worked with former Notre Dame QB, Jimmy Clausen.
Black Barnett is not only the total package for the Irish at quarterback citing a big body, definite mobility, and a live arm, but he will be an invaluable catalyst for the 2015 recruiting class. He understands the value of an early verbal and it’s effect on the rest of the 2015 class.
