Gordon Sellars is where Notre Dame is making a last-ditch effort.
After earning an offer from the Irish last week, the 2026 North Carolina WR will visit South Bend on Tuesday before making his college announcement this Friday.
Currently, Sellars is anticipated to select on Friday between South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, and Clemson; nevertheless, Notre Dame is attempting to provide him with an alternative.
Chad Grier, his coach at Providence Day in Charlotte, told Irish Sports Daily, “He has all the measurables, which makes it easy.” He is 6-3 and 195. He is able to run and jump.
He is also a remarkable child. I consider myself fortunate to have been around by many wonderful children and families, and he is no different. Dad and Mom are amazing. He was brought up properly. He’s a huge ballhead. He simply continues improving, and he enjoys working at it.
Between his sophomore and junior seasons, Grier seen Sellars make significant progress, and he now observes him doing the same.
Grier says, “I think his leap from last year and even this offseason have really been route skills.” “He can catch a short one and take it to the house, but I think he’s really taken a lot of pride in improving as a route runner. He’s got the size, speed, and athletic system to run past people.” As he releases the brakes, he lowers his hips and modifies his speed, angles, and leverage. He’s performing admirably in all of that.
Grier has expressed admiration for Sellars’ handling of the situation.
He remarks, “It’s a little refreshing.” The topic of money and how much a four-star person may get is normally discussed a lot in this day and age. Gordon’s focus has been primarily on relationships and figuring out which school would be best for him. He has made it his top focus the entire time, and he has done a good job of following that procedure.
He really has no justification for dragging it out. Because he wants to be done with it immediately, he will ultimately decide not to take many officials. Most children are acting in the opposite way. They want to take as many officials as possible, as much equipment as they can get, and so on. He’s just a pretty cool kid, wired a little differently, in my opinion.
What does that mean for Irish people? Grier isn’t sure.
“I’m not sure,” he replies. It’s difficult to say. Certainly, it’s late. When Marcus Freeman first came out here two years ago, I really liked him, but I also thought a lot of the program.
Grier was the high school coach of former Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman.
He had a great time there. They made a wonderful deal, in my opinion. What a great opportunity Notre Dame has given him.
