Notre Dame is having little trouble collecting defensive-line talent under coach Brian Kelly.
Stephon Tuitt, a defensive end from Monroe, Ga., orally committed to the Irish, according to the South Bend Tribune.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Tuitt is the sixth defensive end for the Irish's 2011 class, which now has 19 commitments. He is a four-star recruit, according to Rivals.com.
Tuitt visited Notre Dame's campus over the weekend and attended the Michigan game.
"The visit went really well," Tuitt told the Tribune. "They have great facilities, a great campus and environment, and I felt comfortable. I took a couple of days to think about it, came back and had a couple of football practices, making sure I got knocked around a little bit and knocked some people around so my head was right after I went there."
