3-Star offensive lineman decommits from the Oklahoma Sooners
3-Star offensive lineman decommits from the Oklahoma Sooners The Oklahoma Sooners have seen a significant increase in the 2026 recruiting class over the last month, adding seven players since May 13. Ahead of a huge weekend with the ChampU BBQ, though, the Sooners saw a commit flip his pledge. Three-star interior offensive lineman Will Conroy flipped to North Carolina on Wednesday morning. Conroy initially committed to the Oklahoma Sooners back in December of 2024. But it's Bill Belichick who gets the IMG Academy prospect instead. The Sooners added a commitment from four-star offensive lineman Noah Best last week and are in a good position to land four-star offensive lineman Deacon Schmitt. Oklahoma has a young group of interior offensive linemen on campus. Heath Ozaeta, Eddy Pierre-Louis, Daniel Akinkunmi, Ryan Fodje, Owen Hollenbeck, and Sean Hutton make up a strong group to lead the Sooners into the future.

Notre Dame got crystal ball picks for Grayson McKeogh, Khary Adams, Joey O'Brien and more
Notre Dame got crystal ball picks for Grayson McKeogh, Khary Adams, Joey O'Brien and more Notre Dame football could be going on another commitment run, and if what has transpired over the last day is correct, it's going to be happening. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Irish got multiple projections for top players to end up in South Bend. We covered the news of Arizona wide receiver Devin Fitzgerald trending to Notre Dame, along with canceling his official visit to North Carolina. That wasn't the only positive recruiting news for the Irish as Connecticut offensive tackle Charlie Thom, who just got his offer yesterday, is expected to join the class according to On3's Mike Singer. Notre Dame is looking for another tackle in the 2026 class, and he'd be a great addition. Staying with that group of insiders, Steve Wiltfong also made a few Irish projections for offensive tackle Grayson McKeogh and cornerback Khary Adams, while also joining in on Fitzgerald. The positive developments didn't end there, as 247Sports also put in crystal ball picks for McKeogh, Adams, safety Nick Reddish, Fitzgerald and safety Joey O'Brien. It's pretty safe to say that this past weekends official visitors trips were a huge success. We will find out shortly if these projections hold true, but it's looking like Notre Dame will be adding more than a few elite prospects over the next few months.

Notre Dame's dual-sport star Brandon Logan set for MLB Draft Combine
Notre Dame's dual-sport star Brandon Logan set for MLB Draft Combine Notre Dame football offered 2027 Kentucky wide receiver Tyler Fryman a scholarship Monday evening despite him being currently committed to Louisville baseball. Another two-sport star is in the news as 2025 Fighting Irish baseball and football signee Brandon Logan is participating in the MLB Draft Combine this week in Phoenix. Last recruiting cycle, ND was able to flip Logan from a Vanderbilt baseball commitment. The 6-foot, 185-pound R Nelson Snider (Fort Wayne, IN) outfielder will have the chance to impress big league scouts, as 322 draft-eligible prospects—both high school and college players—will be in town leading up to the MLB Draft July 13. The Combine, which is in its third year, takes place from June 17-21 at Chase Field. Logan, who plays safety when on the gridiron, hit .389 with 7 home runs and 31 RBI this past spring as a senior. He was also among the state's leaders with 44 stolen bases. Fighting Irish right-handed pitcher Rory Fox (4-4, 3.58 ERA in 2025) is also in Arizona to do interviews, but he won't be throwing for scouts. In 65.1 innings, he struck out 64 batters and limited opponents to a .187 average.
