Southaven (Miss.) high school three-star cornerback Caleb Offord is the latest class of 2020 recruit to commit to Notre Dame.

The 6-1, 173-pounder saw his recruitment take off in a big way this offseason, especially when it comes to the Fighting Irish, and now he’s a member of Notre Dame’s 2020 class. He chose to play ball in South Bend over scholarship offers from Arkansas, Duke, Houston, Kentucky, Louisville, Purdue, Vanderbilt and many others.

Led by safeties coach Terry Joseph and defensive coordinator Clark Lea, the staff targeted him early this spring. Notre Dame went to watch him workout in May and saw enough to extend a scholarship. Once he received the good news, Offord wasted no time setting up an unofficial visit. Within two weeks he was on campus and he couldn’t have had a better time. Later that week Offord locked in his official visit to Notre Dame on June 21 and it was then that the staff received the good news that he wanted to commit, which had already been expressed during his previous trip to some staff members. Despite a strong push from other programs, Offord found a home at Notre Dame and is now locked in.

Offord is very skilled. He has long arms, above average speed, the ability to cover at a high level, he is not afraid to throw his weight around and hit, and he has impressive ball skills. There is a lot to like about Offord in terms of versatility as well. He’s a cornerback to start, but there is no question that if he needs to make the transition to safety, that will be smooth.

Per 247Sports, Offord is the No. 528 overall player in the country, No. 43 cornerback in the nation and No. 10 prospect in Mississippi in the class of 2020. The 247Sports Composite has him pegged as the No. 648 overall talent this cycle, No. 49 player at his position and No. 15 recruit in his home state.
