Notre Dame's last-minute recruiting pitch has netted a fourth buyer. Danny Spond, a four-star athlete from Littleton, Colo., became the fourth player to make an oral commitment to the Irish after visiting this past weekend, according to multiple reports.
The 6-foot-3, 232-pound Spond apparently could fit into Brian Kelly's system in any number of spots, judging by his itinerary over the weekend in South Bend.
"While I was in the defensive meeting the defensive coordinator told me that the quarterbacks coach wanted to meet with me afterward," Spond told Irish Illustrated. "On defense I'd probably be a (hybrid safety/linebacker) in the 3-4 style of defense. I really liked that position a lot. The defense they run is a lot of what we did in high school, which is kind of a cool thing for me just in the transition.

"Then after that I went over and met with the quarterbacks coach and he
said that I'm the type of player they just want to get the ball in my
hands. Whether that's from catching it or taking it under center it
doesn't matter. That's just how they want it. We talked a little bit
about a Wildcat offense as well."
Spond initially committed to Colorado, then backed off and narrowed his choices down to TCU and the Irish. Rivals rates Spond as the No. 27 "athlete" in the nation and the No. 2 prospect in Colorado.
He is the fourth player to commit to Notre Dame out of last weekend's last-minute group of visitors, with Signing Day approaching Wednesday.
Irish Sports Daily and Irish Eyes are also reporting Spond's commitment.
