Notre Dame Football recruiting: Irish hand out offer to 2020 linebacker
By Eric Brown
Notre Dame football continues to hand out offers for the future of the team. This time handing out an offer to DeaMonte Trayanum, a linebacker from Akron, Ohio.
Currently the Irish are set at linebacker for the foreseeable future, as 5 of the ten linebackers on the roster are either a junior or senior. They have plenty of talent waiting in the wings, however they could have even more talent as they offered one of the top linebackers in the state of Ohio for the 2020 class, DeaMonte Trayanum.

With only players currently on the roster that will be around for the 2020 team, the Irish need all they help they can get.
Standing at 5’11 and weighing 210 lbs, Trayanum could be a little undersized at the LB position. However given that he is still a sophomore he has two more seasons to reach his full potential.
During his sophomore season, Trayanum finished the year with 150 tackles and more than 20 tackles for loss. Along with his defensive ability, he also plays running back for Archbishop Hoban in Akron, Ohio. He ran 850 yards and 13 touchdowns as well.

2017 was a comeback year for Brian Kelly and the rest of the Irish football team, and they will be looking to build upon that for the 2018 season. By the time DeaMonte comes to South Bend (if he does), Notre Dame could be a national title contender.
