Notre Dame football stays hot recruiting adding 2026 3-star safety Nick Reddish
The 5-foot, 11-inch and 185-pound North Carolina star picked the Irish over Wisconsin, Indiana and Virginia Tech. Notre Dame's 2026 recruiting class now is up to 26 verbals, and there isn't much room left to add any other prospects.
Reddish is the third safety in the class joining two elite others in Joey O'Brien and Ayden Pouncey. He's a bit smaller than his future teammates, as both of them have the size and frames to outgrow the position. As the No. 681 overall player in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports Composite.
He's set to join an absolutely loaded position group, as Adon Shuler is expected to be a starter, while Luke Talich, JaDon Blair, Ben Minich and others battle out for the opposite starting job. That's not including either of the two transfers in Devonta Smith and Jalen Stroman, as the Irish possess one of the deepest units in the country.
Reddish is a great addition to the room, as Notre Dame's class continues to impress.

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Justin Jefferson
After emerging with a breakout campaign a year ago, inside linebacker Justin Jefferson is back for one final season with the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2025. Returning for year three at Alabama, Jefferson originally entered this past offseason thought to be out of eligibility, but now gets one more season due to having begun his collegiate career in junior college. With this return, Jefferson now enters the 2025 season expected to play a major role for the Crimson Tide at inside linebacker, potentially as a starter, while also changing jersey numbers from No. 15 to No. 10. A player who could be key toward Alabama's success defensively in 2025, here is a look at everything you need to know about linebacker Justin Jefferson entering this season. Justin Jefferson player information Justin Jefferson career stats A player who originally began his collegiate career in junior college, Jefferson will be entering his third season at the FBS level in 2025. With the last two coming at Alabama, Jefferson has appeared in a combined 26 games with the Crimson Tide in which he has compiled 64 tackles, 6.5 TFL, two sacks, one PD, and two forced fumbles. Justin Jefferson 2024 stats As mentioned previously, Jefferson's 2024 season at Alabama was a breakout campaign for the inside linebacker in which he appeared in 12 games for the Crimson Tide, three of which he started. In all, Jefferson amassed 60 tackles with 6.5 TFL, two sacks, one PD, and one forced fumble. Justin Jefferson recruiting ranking According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Jefferson was unranked as a prospect nationally in the 2021 class, coming out of Bartlett High School in Tennessee. After spending two seasons in junior college, Jefferson then came to Alabama as a member of the Crimson Tide's 2023 class, rated as the nation's No. 2 overall JUCO prospect, as well as the No. 1 linebacker nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. A four-star prospect, Jefferson attended Pearl River Community College in Mississippi, and committed to Alabama in June 2022. Justin Jefferson 2025 season outlook Coming off a breakout 2024 season, Jefferson is likely to be a key member of Alabama's defensive unit in 2025. As to what potential role that comes in, Jefferson began last season as a rotational linebacker behind the duo of Deontae Lawson and Jihaad Campbell, but still saw a significant amount of action. With Lawson returning also, Jefferson is now arguably the favorite to takeover as the second starter at inside linebacker for the Crimson Tide, but will have to win the job over others such as Colorado transfer Nikhai Hill-Green. Overall, expect yet another career-year for Jefferson this fall, and for the redshirt senior to start for the Crimson Tide at inside linebacker.

Experts predict if Notre Dame will land 2027 quarterback Teddy Jarrard later today
Today is a big day for 2027 Georgia quarterback Teddy Jarrard, and potentially a huge day for Notre Dame as well. The Irish are one of five teams that the 6-foot, 3-inch and 190-pound signal caller will choose from as Georgia, Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State are his other finalists. Jarrard's commitment will have a domino effect, as Notre Dame has only offered one other quarterback in the class. Many are wondering if that strategy will work out, and looking towards what recruiting insiders are saying is the best way to find out if the Irish played this correctly. Looking at 247Sports first, there are two Crystal Ball picks, both favoring Notre Dame. It's always interesting to see when these choices were made, and both of them happened less than a week ago. That's great news for the Irish. With Rivals merging with On3, there is one less place to see predictions, but like 247Sports, they like Notre Dame's chances at landing Jarrard. There is a 91.9% confidence level in their Recruiting Prediction Machine, and while their insider picks are locked, you have to believe that they are all for the Irish. If these predictions are correct, Notre Dame's strategy of being very selective with their 2027 quarterback offers is going to pay off with Jarrard. Hopefully that is the case later today.
