Look: 2024 recruits arrive at Notre Dame for June 2-4 official visits
The first group of Notre Dame football recruits officially visiting this month arrived on campus Friday morning. From June 2-4, the Irish host four 2024 targets and two verbal commits on their official visits.
Blue & Gold observed the six recruits and their families enter the Guglielmino Athletics Complex for the start of their official visits. Here are photos of each one and a few notes on their arrival.
Four-star OT Guerby Lambert

The On3 Industry Ranking — a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services — considers Lambert as the No. 53 overall player, No. 5 offensive tackle and No 1 prospect in Massachusetts. He has a 94.65 rating.
