Starting July 13, the anticipation for Notre Dame’s football recruiting reached a crescendo, with the highly coveted wide receiver prospect Derek Meadows poised to make his college decision. Originally scheduled for that day, Meadows has opted to postpone his announcement by a week, now setting July 20 as the date. The announcement will be broadcast live on the 247Sports YouTube Channel at 3 p.m. ET.
Derek Meadows stands out as one of the premier wide receiver talents in the 2025 recruiting class nationally, known for his NFL-like physique and exceptional speed. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds, Meadows not only excels on the football field but also shines as a star hurdler, earning Nevada’s Gatorade Track and Field Athlete of the Year accolade last year.
Meadows has garnered significant interest from powerhouse programs across the country, showcasing his talent during official visits to top football programs:
– Alabama Crimson Tide: Most recent official visit on June 21, 2024
– Georgia Bulldogs: Most recent official visit on June 7, 2024
– LSU Tigers: Most recent official visit on June 18, 2024
– Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Most recent official visit on June 14, 2024
– South Carolina Gamecocks: Most recent official visit on May 31, 2024
Among these visits, Notre Dame has emerged as a key contender for Meadows’ commitment, with the Fighting Irish making a strong impression during his recent visit. The delay in Meadows’ decision adds to the suspense surrounding his recruitment, with Notre Dame eagerly awaiting his final choice.
Notre Dame’s recruiting efforts extend beyond Meadows, with two other prominent wide receiver prospects from the 2025 class also poised to announce their college decisions in the coming days. As the recruiting landscape heats up, all eyes are on Derek Meadows and his forthcoming decision, set to reshape Notre Dame’s football future.
