The Irish also placed three other pledges — Phoenix Pinnacle offensive tackle Tosh Baker (No. 44), Alexandria (Ky.) Covington Catholic tight end Michael Mayer (No. 58) and New Canaan (Conn.) High quarterback Drew Pyne (No. 100) — in the Rivals100. • Two class of 2021 Notre Dame prospects have pledged to play in the Hall Of Fame World Bowl after the conclusion of their respective senior seasons. Defensive lineman Gabriel Rubio of St. Peters (Mo.) Lutheran and offensive lineman Blake Fisher of Avon (Ind.) High announced on Twitter that they would participate in the up-and-coming All-Star Game. Rivals rates Rubio as a four-star talent, the No. 2 player in Missouri and the No. 8 defensive tackle in the country, while Fisher has been tabbed as a four-star recruit, the No. 1 player in Indiana and the No. 3 offensive tackle in the nation. Last year's event was held in Mexico City and featured some of the nation's best 2019 prospects. In partnership with the NFL, the World Bowl also had some headliner coaches in former pro football stars Rod Woodson and Will Shields. — Mike Singer
