Breaking News: Twin Defensive Ends Darryll and Mandrell Desir Decommit from Florida State, Sign with Notre Dame Over Penn State, Nebraska
In a stunning turn of events, twin defensive ends Darryll and Mandrell Desir have officially decommitted from Florida State and signed with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The highly coveted recruits, who were previously committed to the Seminoles, chose to join Notre Dame’s storied football program after months of speculation and a fierce recruitment battle that also included top contenders Penn State and Nebraska.
The Desir twins, both considered elite prospects, bring immense talent and potential to the Notre Dame defense. Standing at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds each, Darryll and Mandrell possess the perfect blend of size, strength, and athleticism that makes them disruptive forces on the defensive line. Their decision to sign with the Fighting Irish marks a significant win for head coach Marcus Freeman, who has been building a reputation for landing high-caliber defensive recruits to enhance Notre Dame’s defensive schemes.
Both twins have been standout players at the high school level, earning numerous accolades for their dominant performances. Darryll and Mandrell are known for their explosiveness off the edge, pass-rushing prowess, and ability to disrupt opposing offenses. Their versatility allows them to excel both as edge rushers and as run-stoppers, making them a perfect fit for Freeman’s aggressive defensive style.
While the Desir twins were originally committed to Florida State, the Fighting Irish coaching staff worked tirelessly to change their minds, offering the pair the opportunity to play for a program with a rich history of defensive excellence. Their decision to decommit from Florida State and sign with Notre Dame is a significant coup for the Irish, particularly as they continue to strengthen their recruiting efforts under Freeman’s leadership.
In addition to Notre Dame, Penn State and Nebraska were serious contenders for the Desir twins, both programs known for their strong defensive traditions. However, the Desir brothers ultimately felt that Notre Dame’s combination of academic excellence, elite football development, and the opportunity to compete at the highest level was the best fit for their future.
For Notre Dame, securing the commitment of the Desir twins is a huge step in fortifying its defensive line for the future. With Darryll and Mandrell joining an already talented roster, the Fighting Irish now have two dynamic pass-rushers who can make an immediate impact in college football. Their addition to the program signals that Notre Dame continues to recruit at an elite level, with an eye on building a championship-caliber defense.
As the Desir twins prepare to make their mark at Notre Dame, the Fighting Irish faithful can look forward to seeing two of the most exciting defensive prospects in the country suit up for their team in the near future.
