Notre Dame football offers multiple prospects on Wednesday including a 5-star tackle
Notre Dame football went on another one of its offer sprees on Wednesday, as they sent out multiple scholarships to stars across the country.
Once again, the Irish weren't focusing on just one class, as multiple were given the good news. They currently have 16 commits in the 2026 group, but should expect at least 8-10 more verbals before it is all said and done.

Notre Dame does not have a commitment in the 2027 cycle, but it is just a matter of time until that changes. They are hard at work on this class, and it should pay off soon.
Find out below who the Irish offered on Wednesday, as they continue their impressive recruiting success following a run to the College Football Playoff championship game.
(Note: All prospect rankings are according to the 247Sports Composite.
2026 tight end Brayden Fogle
The Ohio native was one of the targets, as the 6-foot, 3-inch and 225-pounder is one of the best prospects in the country. He's ranked as the nation's No. 162 prospect and has a very impressive offer list. Notre Dame is a bit late to his recruitment, but still has plenty of time to make up ground.
2027 safety Tory Pittman III
Notre Dame has a great recent recruiting success with some of the top members of the secondary, and Pittman could be the next one that lands in South Bend. The 6-foot and 185-pound star is one of the best players in his class, ranking as the No. 40 overall prospect.
2026 Tight end Preston Fryzel
Another offer to a 2026 tight end, Fryzel also resides in Ohio. It's pretty clear that the Irish have made that a focus state, especially considering head coach Marcus Freeman's connection. At 6-foot, 4-inches and 220-pound, Fryzel fits the mold of a big time prospect, even though his ranking, No. 683, doesn't reflect that.
2027 Offensive tackle Mark Matthews
My favorite offer of the day went out to Matthews, who is the No. 8 overall player in his class. At 6-foot, 6-inches and 270-pounds, he has the frame of an elite tackle who could protect any quarterbacks blindside. Notre Dame has had a good amount of success recruiting the state of Florida, and hopefully that continues with Matthews.
Overview
It's become pretty obvious that Notre Dame is looking for a tight end in the 2026 cycle, with the two new offers out on Wednesday. They currently don't have a player committed at the position, as the search continues to find a fit. The 2027 offers are all about relationships and evaluation, they like both of them enough that waiting to offer later didn't make sense. I love the aggressiveness of this staff on the trail, and the success should continue even if it's not immediate.

Legacy recruits James Halter and Xander Edwards set to visit Notre Dame
Notre Dame is set for a big football weekend as the program will hold its annual Irish Invasion camp. The showcase will feature a slew of talented prospects, including two legacy recruits. Central Catholic (Pittsburgh, PA) 2027 offensive lineman James Halter and The Bolles School (Jacksonville, FL) 2028 running back Xander Edwards will visit South Bend and compete in the high school prospect camp. Both recruits attended the Notre Dame Blue-Gold Game this past April. Advertisement Edwards' father is former Fighting Irish captain and fullback Marc Edwards, who played in South Bend from 1993-96 before being selected No. 55 overall by the San Francisco 49ers in the 1997 NFL Draft. He ranks eighth in ND history with 32 career rushing touchdowns. Halter is the son of former offensive lineman Jordan Halter, who was teammates with Edwards on the 1993 team. Halter was in South Bend from 1989-1993, when the Irish finished 11-1 and ended the season No. 2 in the AP Top 25 poll. The rising junior Halter is a 6-foot-5, 265-pounder who holds scholarship offers from 12 schools, including Nebraska, Michigan State and Pittsburgh. Notre Dame has been Halter's dream school, so his development as a lineman will be something to watch. Meanwhile, the rising sophomore Edwards has offers from eight schools, including SMU and Pittsburgh. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder had 78 rushes for 558 yards (7.2 yards per carry) and 8 touchdowns last season.
