Notre Dame makes offer to defensive lineman out of Texas Notre Dame has an offer out to defensive lineman Alister Vallejo. The Irish will have to compete with the Wolverines, who've also made an offer.
Notre Dame has extended an offer to defensive lineman Alister Vallejo.
Vallejo has been playing his high school ball at Liberty Hill High School in Liberty Hill, Texas. He mentioned a conversation with Notre Dame defensive run-game coordinator and defensive line coach Al Washington while announcing the offer.
The three-star recruit stands 6'3" and weighs 300 pounds. He had visited SMU, Houston, Kansas, an Oklahoma State, and he also has an offer from Notre Dame rival Michigan.
We'll see where Vallejo ends up -- certainly, the Irish are always looking to add to what's been a solid defensive line.

CBS Sports grades Texas A&M HC Bucky McMillan's 2025 roster
CBS Sports grades Texas A&M HC Bucky McMillan's 2025 roster Texas A&M's best coaching move in several years came this spring, as Athletic Director Trev Alberts took a gamble that has already paid off after hiring former Samford head coach Bucky McMillan to take over the basketball program after Buzz Williams departed for Maryland after six years at the helm. So far, McMillan has completely rebuilt his first 2025 roster, adding 12 players from the transfer portal, while his latest addition, Spanish guard Rubèn Domíguez, could be one of the most impactful players due to his vast international experience and elite 3-point shooting skillset. However, signing former Indiana forward Mackenzie Mgbako, shooting guard Rylan Griffen and Creighton transfer guard Pop Issacs deserved the headlines as potential stars who should lead the Aggies in several categories next season. With all this movement that has made a once-fringe NCAA Tournament team a potential contender during McMillan's inaugural season, CBS Sports's David Cobb provided his roster grades for every first-year head coach, and to no surprise, Texas A&M received an A- based on the talent and experience on the 2025 roster. Here's what Dodd had to say regarding his grade: "How would McMillan fare recruiting at a big-boy job after arriving from Samford with exactly zero high-major experience of any sort on his resume? The answer, as it turns out, is just fine. The Aggies have assembled a competitive roster highlighted by three top-80 transfers and plenty of outside shooting. Pop Isaacs (Creighton/Texas Tech) and Jacari Lane (North Alabama) are serious bucket-getters in the backcourt, while Rylan Griffen (Kansas/Alabama) and Mackenzie Mgbako (Indiana) can pop it from the wing." "The question will be whether the roster is deep enough for McMillan to employ the breakneck pace and deep rotation that defines "Buckyball." But his first wave is certainly not hurting for SEC-caliber talent, and the early June addition of 22-year old Spanish shooter Ruben Dominguez helps alleviate that concern." Ahead of his first season with Maryland, Buzz Williams' 2025 roster received a B+, while new Texas coach Arch Miller received the same grade. Dodd is 100% correct in questioning if A&M's roster is deep enough to master McMillan's intense system, but the shooting is there, and he still has two roster spots available to reach the 15-player roster maximum.

Spartans target, 3-star DB Bradley Brown commits to TCU
Spartans target, 3-star DB Bradley Brown commits to TCU A defensive back prospect targeted by Michigan State has committed to elsewhere. Bradley Brown of Plano, Texas has elected to stay close to home by committing to TCU on Tuesday evening. His commitment to the Horned Frogs was announced via a post on his social media X account. Brown was a Michigan State target, with a scheduled official visit to Michigan State set for June 20. He visited TCU a few weeks ago, Missouri this past weekend and was also expected to visit Vanderbilt this upcoming weekend. The assumption is that those upcoming visits to Michigan State and Vanderbilt are cancelled with his commitment to TCU. Brown is a three-star safety prospect in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. He holds a recruiting rating of 87.36 and ranks as the No. 65 safety in the class in 247Sports' composite rankings. Michigan State has already added a pair of safeties to its 2026 class with the commitments of three-stars Brayden Thomas and Eliyjah Caldwell-Hardy earlier this month. So the loss of Brown isn't a true game-changer as this is an area that Michigan State may already be done looking to pursue in the 2026 class.
