Notre Dame will host top Illinois QB recruit Jameson Purcell at Irish Invasion camp June 6
Notre Dame will host top Illinois QB recruit Jameson Purcell at Irish Invasion camp June 6
One of the top quarterbacks in Illinois is set to visit South Bend for Notre Dame football's Irish Invasion prospect camp June 6.
Maine South (Park Ridge, IL) three-star recruit Jameson Purcell announced Thursday his plans to return to campus for the showcase event. The 6-foot-2, 181-pounder is also set to perform in camps at Clemson, Florida, Auburn, Florida State and Ohio State this summer.
The Class of 2027 recruit is the No. 21 quarterback and No. 293 overall recruit nationally according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. His visit to South Bend will be his third. The Irish have not yet offered a quarterback recruit for the 2027 class. Noah Grubbs is currently in the fold for 2026. Blake Hebert was brought in during this year's cycle.
The Irish Invasion prospect camp has been an important recruiting tool for Marcus Freeman and his staff during his tenure as they will look to find players who fit the Notre Dame mold once again.

Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price is using the offseason to improve, as this video shows
For any athlete, the off-season is the time to improve on your game, and for Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, it looks like he's well on his way to doing just that. The rising junior is coming off a season where he had 120 carries for 746 yards and 10 touchdowns, as many would say that constitutes a breakout year. There is no doubt in my mind that Price is just scratching the surface of his ability, and in a video shared by trainer Sean Cooper, it looks like he's on his way for a big 2025 campaign. Advertisement While he will still share carries with Jeremiyah Love, Price is an integral part of the offense, especially considering how much time his counterpart missed last year. Notre Dame's running back room is deep and talented, with many expecting the pair to be the main ball carriers. Aneyas Williams will also get plenty of run, but Love and Price are the workhorses. Expect Price to pick up some of the yardage that Riley Leonard accounted for in 2024, and don't be surprised to see each to the top two Irish backs going over 1,000 yards.

Notre Dame football's top-5 offensive players entering the 2025 season
Long gone are the days where Notre Dame football's offense has been in question, as the Irish showed last year they can score with the best in the country. The Mike Denbrock-led offense scored 36.1 points-per-game last year, good for No. 10 nationally, and while they did lose some weapons, most notably quarterback Riley Leonard, there is plenty of returning talent that will carry this unit. Advertisement While the season is still a few months away, we are getting plenty of new information about the direction of the team and what to expect from the Irish in 2025. Find out below my top-5 offensive players for Notre Dame this fall as of early June. No. 5 - Quarterback CJ Carr There has yet to be a decision between Carr and Kenny Minchey, but you have to expect that Freeman will go with the higher upside player considering they both have virtually no playing experience. Carr was the No. 68 overall recruit in his class in the 247Sports Composite, while Minchey was No. 170 in the next cycle. Both are more than capable of running the Irish offense, but at this point with Steve Angeli no longer with the program, Carr is the frontrunner in my opinion. No. 4 - Wide receiver Jaden Greathouse The breakout is coming, especially after Greathouse showed the nation in the last two games of the College Football Playoff that he's a gamebreaking talent. He accounted for 13 receptions for 223-yards and three touchdowns, as he torched both Penn State and Ohio State. While the quarterback position is still a question mark, we know that Greathouse can make plays. Notre Dame will play him more in the slot, creating mismatches for him to exploit due to a player later on this list. No. 3 - Running back Jadarian Price Price was second on the team in rushing attempts last year, and averaged 6.2 yards-per-carry, which was just behind the team leaders. He scored seven times as well, and looks to be ready to take the next step this fall. While he will share carries with a player later on this list, Price still seems poised to top last year's impressive numbers. No. 2 - Wide receiver Malachi Fields While Fields wasn't able to practice with the Irish during the spring due to transfer rules, he's going to be a difference-maker this fall. Over the last two years he's caught at least 55 receptions, which would have been first on last year's Notre Dame team. His five touchdowns would have been first, as well as his 808 receiving yards. No Irish receiver has topped those marks since Kevin Austin in 2021, and there's not doubt in my mind that Fields is a much better player. No. 1 - Running back Jeremiyah Love This was an easy choice, as it should be. Love is one of the best players nationally, is getting plenty of pre-season love and could end up in New York after the season concludes. Coming off a year with 1,125 rushing yards with 17 touchdowns to go along with 237 receiving yards and another two scores, the Heisman talk is legit. As long as Love stays healthy, he's one of the best players in the nation. This article originally appeared on Fighting Irish Wire: Predicting Notre Dame's top-5 offensive players of 2025
