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.

Four-star TE Ian Premer commits to Notre Dame
The luck of the Irish has struck again. That's because four-star tight end Ian Premer has committed to the team. The Great Bend (Ind.) High standout committed to Notre Dame over Kansas State, Iowa State and Kansas. Before he took the official visit to Notre Dame the Kansas native told Rivals what he was looking for in a school. This description seemed to fit Notre Dame perfectly. Advertisement 'To start off the winning pedigree,' Premer said. 'I'm a big time competitor, so I want to go to a school that's gonna be successful and win. 'Then I can continue to help them win. Along with that is tight end utilization. Are they in 12 personnel a lot or are they throwing the tight end the ball? Then are they developing players for the NFL? The last thing I would say is just the feel and the culture of the place and if I could kind of see myself in that.'

He joins a Notre Dame class that now ranks in the top five in the country. Premer is the second tight end in the class joining fast-riser Preston Fryzel who recently committed.
