This fact shows that Notre Dame's 2026 class is one of the best in recent memory
Currently with twenty-six verbals, the Irish placed six of them inside Rivals top-50: edge Rodney Dunham, McKeogh, edge Ebenezer Ewetade, tight end Ian Premer, cornerback Khary Adams and safety Joey O'Brien. On3's Mike Singer pointed out that last year's class signed just one player in that range, and two in the 2024 group.
It can't be understated how much of a difference head coach Marcus Freeman has made on the recruiting trail, as he has elevated it to a level that hasn't been seen often in South Bend. It's not just the lead guy either, cornerbacks coach Mike Mickens, running backs coach Ja'Juan Seider and others have played a huge part in Notre Dame recent recruiting success.
There is still plenty of work to do, but this class is shaping up to be a cornerstone of the program for years to come.

Notre Dame football to host Chicago 2027 4-star cornerback Tavares Harrington this fall
Notre Dame football has had great success recruiting its neighboring state of Illinois, and in the 2027 cycle they are trying to continue that trend. Tavares Harrington, a 6-foot, 3-inch and 175-pound cornerback announced on Wednesday what his plans will be for this fall, and will be in South Bend as the Irish take on Texas A&M on Sept. 13th according to Rivals. He's one of the nation's top players, as the 247Sports Composite has him as the No. 99 overall prospect in the 2027 class. Notre Dame is battling multiple others schools for Harrington such as Miami, Georgia, Michigan, Auburn, Alabama and few others. The visits this fall will go a long way in impressing the star corner, as you have to believe that the teams who he will be visiting are near the top of his list. Hopefully Harrington sees everything that Notre Dame can offer him, and the Irish win out in his recruitment.
