‘27 wr dedrick kimbrough sets visit to notre dame

Notre Dame wide receivers coach Mike Brown continues to look for playmakers that can make things happen with the ball in their hands and 2028 6-3 180-pound 4-star wide receiver Dedrick Kimbrough of Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson checks that box. He was recently offered by the Irish and it was a moment that didn’t seem real.

“It felt surreal,” Kimbrough told Lucky Lefty. “That offer just means more because a lot of guys my age don’t pick that up. They take academics and character very seriously, so it showed me that my hard work is paying off.”

Coach Mike Brown and Coach Kenny Sanders have been building a good relationship with the talented pass-catcher, who is coming off an impressive sophomore season that saw him amass 686 yards with 46 receptions and 5 touchdowns. If that’s not impressive enough, his 4.1 GPA is evidence of the hard work he speaks of and is a big reason for his excitement to visit South Bend.

“I’ll be there April 11th,” Kimbrough shared. “I’ve been talking to Coach Brown and Coach Sanders a lot. I can’t wait to talk some ball with them when I get on campus. I’m excited to see what Notre Dame is all about.”

He ranks 98th nationally according to 247 Sports and holds offers from schools like Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, Oregon, Texas A&M and Tennessee.
