Notre Dame Class of 2026 tight end target Evan Jacobson predicted to land at Texas A&M
Notre Dame landed a pair of elite tight end recruits when the program received commitments from Ian Premer and Preston Fryzel, two key offensive components in its Class of 2026. The Fighting Irish were also once considered leaders for the pledge of Waukee (Waukee, IA) tight end Evan Jacobson. But with two at the position already in the fold, tight end is seemingly taken care of in this class, which is one reason recruiting expert Steve Wiltfong gave an expert prediction for Jacobson to land with Texas A&M. Jacobson, who is also a very good basketball player like his father, who played hoops at Nebraska and Iowa State, is the second-ranked player in the state of Iowa, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Jacobson's offer list became even longer throughout this offseason, and he now has well over 30. Among the more notable power programs that have offered him besides the Irish are Ohio State, Penn State, LSU and A&M. One thing is clear: no matter where Jacobson lands, Irish fans have to be ecstatic about the future with Premer and Fryzel in the fold.

Notre Dame finds its 2027 quarterback, as 4-star Georgia prospect Teddy Jarrard commits
It is hard to find a hotter team recruiting than Notre Dame football at the moment, and on Thursday the good times kept rolling at 2027 Georgia quarterback Teddy Jarrard committed. The Irish beat out Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State for the 6-foot, 3-inch and 190-pounder, adding the No. 195 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings to its class. The Irish have made significant changes to the way they recruit since Marcus Freeman was elevated to head coach, and one of the biggest differences we have seen is the recruiting at the quarterback position. Jarrard is the latest to join the fold, as in the last few years we have seen CJ Carr, Kenny Minchey, Blake Hebert and soon to sign Noah Grubbs getting added to Notre Dame's roster. Over the next two years, the newest Irish quarterback commit will see an uptick in his high school competition after transferring to North Cobb in Kennesaw, a much tougher division. As a prospect, Jarrard has everything you are looking for, size, speed, arm strength and anticipation. He won the Rivals 5-star quarterback challenge last month, and could see a big jump in his ranking as he gets closer to his signing date. This was a massive recruiting win for Notre Dame and we are certainly excited to see Jarrard wearing the Blue and Gold in the future.
