Notre Dame Locked in Tight Cornerback Battle with Two Midwest Powers

Notre Dame, Michigan, and Penn State.

Those three teams carry a ton of college football tradition and are currently all set up to make serious runs at the national championship in the years to come. They're also competing hard against one-another for Virginia cornerback Jaziel Hart.

Hart's recruiting rankings might not jump off the page at you but the fact Michigan, Notre Dame, and Penn State are in such hot pursuit considering how each has developed cornerbacks in recent years should tell you how he's videwed as a prospect. Add in that Ohio State has been rumored to be interested despite not yet offering and you understand that his three-star recruiting ranking might be worthy of more excitement than three-stars tend to receive.
