One of Notre Dame's top remaining 2026 targets, S Nick Reddish, has set a commitment date
The 5-foot, 11-inch and 185-pound North Carolina native will made his decision between four schools: Virginia Tech, Indiana, Wisconsin, and the Irish. Reddish has taken official visits to see each of his finalist, with Notre Dame getting the most recent visit on the weekend of June 12th.
Reddish is ranked as the No. 678 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite, and it is very much looking like Notre Dame will be adding him to its class. There are currently three crystal ball picks, each one of them believing that the Irish will land the talented safety.
Notre Dame already has two elite safety commitments in Joey O'Brien and Ayden Pouncey, and will look to round out the group with Reddish in a few weeks.
