He was considered a "raw" recruit who needed development by Kelly's ND (they offered him but only school he ever visited was RU 2x). TBH, Schiano's Rutgers is one of the last places I would think of for QB development but here we are.
"Gavin Wimsatt (6-3, 200; Owensboro, Ky.) is raw, but the coaching staff likes a lot of his traits. Steve Angeli (6-3, 215; Oradell, N.J.) is a better thrower than some of the quarterbacks they already have at Notre Dame.
“I think this ends with Notre Dame signing Angeli.”
Lemming: “It’s hard to tell who Notre Dame really wants among Steve Angeli, Gavin Wimsatt and Drew Aller. They’re all good, but none of them are great."
Editor’s Note: Inside Recruiting is a new feature that will address key topics involving Notre Dame football recruiting and recruiting in general. We plan to make it a regular staple of our Irish football coverage.

Kentucky took the Wimsatt loss hard:
"On Friday, four-star quarterback Gavin Wimsatt announced his commitment to Rutgers over Kentucky, Ole Miss, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Oregon, among a host of other offers. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Owensboro native is not only rated as the No. 1 prospect from the Bluegrass State, but he’s also the No. 3 dual-threat passer and a top 100 overall prospect in the 2022 recruiting cycle...Wimsatt is now Rutgers’ highest-ranked prospect in the class.
If losing Wimsatt to a Big Ten doormat wasn’t bad enough...."
Kentucky just lost out on the state's top prospect.
