Notre Dame lost a commitment from its highest-ranked recruit in the 2023 class, defensive end Keon Keeley, on Wednesday.
Keeley is ESPN’s No. 24-ranked prospect overall and had been committed to the Irish since June 2021. He’s a 6-foot-5, 230-pound recruit out of Berkeley Prep in Tampa, Florida, and is the No. 1 defensive end in the class.

Without Keeley in the class, Notre Dame has 15 ESPN 300 commitments and is now tied with Alabama for the most top-300 commits of any FBS…
