Notre Dame appears to have lost a recruit

Notre Dame reportedly lost its first recruit since Brian Kelly took over as coach.

Cornerback Toney Hurd Jr. de-committed from the Irish, according to reports on Rivals.com sites.

IrishIllustarted.com reported that Hurd, a 5-foot-9, 184-pounder from Missouri City, Texas, told its partner site for Texas A&M that the three-star recruit rescinded his oral commitment.

The South Bend Tribune reported Hurd has not changed his mind as of Thursday, but both Web sites reported that Hurd has not been in contact with Kelly.
