Notre Dame football misses out on another top wide receiver, Derek Meadows

For a while, Notre Dame football was cruising on the recruiting trail, but recently things have not gone the Irish’s way.

On Saturday afternoon, one of their biggest targets, Nevada wide receiver Derek Meadows, made his decision and it didn’t go Notre Dame’s way. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 200-pound prospect committed to LSU, another loss for the Irish at the position.

Meadows would have been a huge get for Notre Dame, as he’s ranked as the nation’s No. 68 overall player according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. It’s been a rough cycle for wide receivers coach Mike Brown, as he’s missed on multiple prospects.

Although the Irish do have Jerome Bettis Jr. and Elijah Burress, the search for a third wide receiver will continue with Meadows picking the Tigers.
