Notre Dame offers new players in the 2027 and 2028 class following Mondays camp
It is a big recruiting weekend for Notre Dame football, as they hosted multiple camps, but the excitement didn't stop as the week turned over.
On Monday afternoon following another camp, the Irish sent out four news offers, to prospects across different classes. It's that time of year, when it's much easier to evaluate players when they are on campus, and it's clear that Notre Dame saw enough out of the quartet.
Find out below the newest players to earn Irish offers, along with a quick recap of how each of them stands with Notre Dame.
(Note: All rankings are according to the 247Sports Composite.)
Tight end Korz Loken
The 6-foot, 5-inch and 220-pounder is one of the nation's best, ranking as the No. 125 overall prospect in the 2027 class. The Wisconsin native has had a good spring with offers from Auburn, Florida State and others, but it will be hard to hold off the in-state Badgers.
Linebacker Mikahi Allen
The 4-star New Jersey linebacker fits the mold of what Notre Dame is looking for at 6-foot, 2-inches and 215-pounds. He's ranked as the No. 245 overall prospect of the 2027 cycle, and has a solid offer list that included Michigan, Penn State, and Florida State. The Irish have had good success recruiting Allen's home state, and hope that that continues.
Darieon Prescott
A very projectable frame at 6-foot, 6-inches and 220-pounds, Prescott is yet another player from Notre Dame neighboring state of Illinois to earn an offer. Many of them have found success in South Bend, and he could be another. Prescott does have an offer from Tennessee, but this one from the Irish should stand out at this early junction. He's not currently ranked in the 2028 class.
Athlete Kameron McGee
The 2028 athlete is one of the nation's best players, even though he's not ranked at the moment. With over 25 offers, the 6-foot, 3-inch and 234-pound McGee most likely will be able to go anywhere he desires. This recruitment will be tough, but the Irish had good luck with Illinois prospects.
What it means
It's pretty simple, you camp at Notre Dame, it significantly increases your chances for an offer. This system has worked well for the Irish, and it could play dividends with some of these most recent scholarships. Head coach Marcus Freeman has his hand in this as well, as he's been seen at many of these events. With 16 commitments in the 2026 class, it makes perfect sense to look ahead with these new offers.

Broncos roster: WR Troy Franklin (No. 11) looks to have bounce-back season
Broncos roster: WR Troy Franklin (No. 11) looks to have bounce-back season Broncos Wire's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at second-year wide receiver Troy Franklin, No. 11. Before the Broncos: Franklin (6-2, 170 pounds) was a three-year player at the University of Oregon from 2021-23. In Franklin's freshman year as a Duck (2021), he didn't exactly have eye-catching numbers: only 18 catches for 209 yards and two touchdowns. In 2022, Franklin benefited from a change at quarterback when he had then-Auburn transfer Bo Nix come in to Eugene. Franklin's production jumped drastically to 61 catches for 891 yards and nine touchdowns, which led the Pac-12 in 13 games. Franklin's best year as a receiver was by far and away the 2023 campaign. Franklin caught 81 passes for 1,383 yards and another Pac-12 leading season with 14 touchdowns. Franklin averaged 106.4 yards per game in 2023, and was Nix's No. 1 target on offense. Prior to the 2024 NFL draft, the Broncos came to scout Nix, and Franklin ran routes during their throwing session. Coaches liked what they saw, and they selected both players: Nix 12th overall in the first round, and Franklin with the 121st overall pick (fourth round). Broncos tenure: Franklin had an up-and-down rookie season in Denver, starting six games, playing in 16 of 18 games (including the playoffs) in 2024. Franklin generated the fourth-most targets (53) on the Broncos, but only had the sixth-most receptions (28) for 268 yards and two touchdowns. Franklin did play a big part in the Broncos' wild card playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills, catching the opening drive touchdown from Nix to put Denver up 7-0. That would be Denver's only score during the game. Chances to make the 53-man roster: Likely. While head coach Sean Payton liked what he saw in the pre-draft process with Franklin, there has been some fan speculation on Franklin's future with the Broncos, and how long he would last after a lackluster 2024 campaign. Franklin did show flashes of potential in his rookie year, but he has to make his presence known in training camp to not be overshadowed by the likes of Devaughn Vele or 2025 draftee Pat Bryant. Franklin seems likely to make the squad, but if he wants more playing time in Year 2, he needs to step up. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Wisconsin one of 10 college football programs to only face FBS opponents on 2025 schedule
Wisconsin one of 10 college football programs to only face FBS opponents on 2025 schedule Wisconsin football will be one of 10 college football programs to square off solely against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents during the 2025 season. The Badgers, fresh off a 5-7 output during the 2024 campaign, join the Colorado Buffaloes, Michigan Wolverines, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Sam Houston State Bearkats, Stanford Cardinal, Texas Longhorns, Tulane Green Wave, UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans as those 10 programs. To open the season, Wisconsin will square off against the Miami (Ohio) Redhawks on Aug. 28 and the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders on Sept. 6 at Camp Randall Stadium. A season ago, the Badgers played Western Michigan, an FBS program, and South Dakota, a Football Championship Subdivision team, to begin the 2024 slate. Unlike last season, both the Redhawks and Blue Raiders compete at the highest level of college football. While Miami, a MAC representative, and Middle Tennessee, a Conference USA team, may not boast the historical resumes of a Power 4 program, both have competed in the FBS for decades. The last 10 games of Wisconsin's schedule, meanwhile, are as difficult as any in the sport. The Badgers play the Alabama Crimson Tide on Sept. 13, Michigan Wolverines on Oct. 4, Ohio State Buckeyes on Oct. 18 and Oregon Ducks on Oct. 25. Other notable games include Iowa on Oct. 11, Washington on Nov. 8, Indiana on Nov. 15, Illinois on Nov. 22 and Minnesota on Nov. 29. With an entirely new offensive system in place -- captained by offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes and Maryland transfer quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. -- UW will need to perform well against the subpar Big Ten programs to return to the six-win threshold. The Nittany Lions, Buckeyes, Crimson Tide and Ducks are as formidable as any group of teams in the country, which means that Wisconsin will need to reestablish its ground-and-pound identity before October rolls around. First is the Thursday, Aug. 28 battle against Miami (Ohio) at Camp Randall.
