South Bend Tribune - Notre Dame football: Jaylon Smith set to visit ND again

Notre Dame will have another opportunity to impress one of the top targets in the 2013 football recruiting class this weekend.

247Sports.com national recruiting writer Steve Wiltfong reported Friday that Fort Wayne, Ind., linebacker Jaylon Smith would be making an unofficial visit to Notre Dame this weekend.

 

"Notre Dame's in outstanding shape for him," Wiltfong said of the 6-foot-3, 202-pounder from Bishop Luers High. "I think they're the team to beat. This visit only can help them lengthen their lead."

The visit will mark Smith's third trip to South Bend this spring. This time, Wiltfong said, Notre Dame will have the chance to focus on Smith without a large number of visitors or spring practice to worry about. Smith is making the visit with his father.

 

"I think they're really going to show Jaylon all the bells and whistles that the Notre Dame football program has to offer," Wiltfong said.

The strongest competition for Smith comes from Ohio State, where Smith's older brother, Rod, plays running back. Jaylon Smith is ranked by 247Sports.com as the No. 1 outside linebacker and No. 6 overall prospect in the country for his class.
