*****
The 2023 four-star defensive end from Platte City (Mo.) Platte County visited Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Kansas, Kansas State and Nebraska this summer and all had things that stood out.

*****
Washington was the only visit for the 2023 four-star defensive end from Pleasant Valley, Iowa, this offseason and the Huskies should be considered a front-runner since he wants to return this season for a game.

It’s believed UGA has the lead in his recruitment.

North Carolina, Alabama, South Carolina, Ohio State and Georgia trips stood out the most to the four-star quarterback from Snellville (Ga.) Brookwood. This fall could be especially busy for Lonergan since he hopes to visit most, if not all, of the top 12 schools on his list.
