Notre Dame 2026 wide receiver target Brayden Robinson moves up commitment date
Has Notre Dame pulled ahead in the Brayden Robinson sweepstakes?
The four-star Class of 2026 wide receiver target announced Wednesday that he has moved up his commitment date two weeks to July 6. The Red Oak (Red Oak, TX) speedster has Notre Dame, Miami and Arizona listed as his finalists.
The 5-foot-8, 160-pounder's original commitment date was set for July 20, but he visited Notre Dame just last week. Could this be a positive sign for Marcus Freeman and his staff?
It could be coincidental, but fellow ND targets Kaydon Finley (July 4) and Devin Fitzgerald (July 5) are set to announce their intentions in the days prior. Could Robinson be the final piece of an insanely talented receiving trio to commit to play in South Bend?
Robinson's speed is noteworthy, as he has been clocked in the 100-meter dash at 10.45 seconds. He's ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 340 overall prospect of the 2026 class.
The Irish currently have two receiver commitments in this class with Dylan Faison and Bubba Frazier.

Advertisement O'Mahony forms a vastly experienced back row with two former All Blacks, fellow flanker Sam Cane and number 8 Shannon Frizell, who both play in Japan. In the matchday 23, there are 17 who have played at Test level, including another recent retiree, loosehead prop Cian Healy, who holds the Irish record with 137 international appearances.

Marlins recover to outlast Giants in 10 innings for third win in a row
Rookie Heriberto Hernandez drove in four runs, including two on a double in the four-run 10th, helping the visiting Miami Marlins to an 8-5 win against the San Francisco Giants in the middle game of a three-game series on Wednesday. Hernandez gave the Marlins a 4-2 lead with a two-out, two-run single in the eighth. After the Giants tied it in the ninth, he came through again in the 10th. Otto Lopez had three hits and three RBI, and Agustin Ramirez had two hits and scored twice for Miami, which has won three in a row to match its longest winning streak of the season. The Marlins also secured a series victory and will go for a sweep on Thursday. Miami starter Edward Cabrera surrendered two runs and three hits in 5 1/3 innings, striking out six and walking three. Mike Yastrzemski homered and Heliot Ramos had two hits and an RBI for the Giants, who had won two of three. Giants right-hander Logan Webb couldn't win a third straight start after allowing two runs and six hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked three. Lopez gave the Marlins a 5-4 lead in the 10th with a soft single to center off San Francisco closer Camilo Doval (3-2), scoring automatic runner Nick Fortes from second. Hernandez then doubled into the left-center-field gap to make it 7-4. He continued to third on the throw home and scored on a sacrifice fly by Connor Norby to increase the advantage to 8-4. Ramos had an RBI single in the 10th for the Giants to make it 8-5. Yastrzemski led off the first by pulling a low fastball off the right field foul pole to give the Giants a 1-0 lead. Miami's Kyle Stowers doubled with one out in the fourth to put runners on second and third. Lopez then hit a line drive that rolled to the wall in the left-center-field gap, scoring two runs to give the Marlins a 2-1 lead. Christian Koss tied the score 2-2 with a sacrifice fly to center in the fifth. Liam Hicks hit a grounder just inside the first base line to put Marlins runners on second and third with no outs in the eighth. Tyler Rogers got the next two batters out with no damage, but Hernandez reached out and lined a two-run single to center to give the Marlins a 4-2 lead. Marlins closer Calvin Faucher (3-2) hit Dominic Smith and Casey Schmitt with pitches to start the ninth and then walked Jung Hoo Lee to load the bases. Willy Adames flied out to the wall in left to score Smith and cut the deficit to 4-3. The other two runners also moved up on the play, and Patrick Bailey then lined a single to left, scoring Schmitt with the run, but Lee was thrown out at the plate by Stowers.

Elite class of 2027 quarterback Peyton Houston is high on Notre Dame
It seems as if Notre Dame is making daily headlines this offseason on the recruiting trail, particularly in regards to its 2026 class. But that doesn't mean the Fighting Irish aren't looking to make headlines in their 2027 class and beyond. One particular prospect the Irish have their eye on is Evangel Christian Academy (Shreveport, LA) quarterback Peyton Houston, who made quite the impression on quarterbacks coach Gino Guidugli and offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock according to a report by Mike Singer. Houston is one of two signal-callers from the 2027 class to hold an offer from the Irish, the other being North Cobb (Kennesaw, GA) product Teddy Jarrard. The 5-foot-11, 198-pounder is a four-star recruit who is considered the No. 8 quarterback in his class, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Like any school competing for the pledge of an elite quarterback, ND has some stiff competition. Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Georgia and USC are among those who are trying to secure his pledge. As a sophomore, Houston threw for 4,480 yards with 38 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions. Elite numbers indeed.
