Notre Dame makes top-10 for 2026 New Jersey defensive lineman
Notre Dame makes top-10 for 2026 New Jersey defensive lineman
The recruiting picture is starting to become much more clear for 2026 New Jersey defensive lineman Damari Simeon, and Notre Dame football is one of the ten schools that still has a chance.
The 6-foot, 3-inch and 275-pound lineman narrowed his list down on Sunday, with the Irish being one of the teams that made the cut. Notre Dame has been developing a relationship with him, and has done enough to be a player for his commitment.
Simeon isn't currently ranked, which is extremely odd considering he has offers from multiple major college football powers and his final list is some of the top schools across the country. You have to assume that at some point in the near future that he will be, but many teams like Notre Dame, do its own big boards and clearly he's on it.
Getting Simeon on campus during the spring will go a long way in his recruitment, so hopefully head coach Marcus Freeman and his staff are working on getting him on campus.

Notre Dame commit Joey O'Brien shining at OT7
The Fighting Irish have a guy who can make plays on both sides of the ball. Notre Dame commit Joey O'Brien is a two-way player, and he's putting up highlights in summer showcases. The wide receiver/cornerback caught a touchdown for Level82 against Midwest Boom in the OT7 playoffs -- and Fighting Irish fans are starting to dream about what he can do. It should be noted that the five-star recruit was playing in a game without offensive or defensive lines. Passing is a lot easier when the quarterback doesn't face a pass rush, obviously. And the play was a short pass from about the 5-yard line. Still, O'Brien showed speed and route-running ability. O'Brien is a five-star recruit out of La Salle College High School in Pennsylvania.
