Watch: Notre Dame football commit Ayden Pouncey with an amazing touchdown catch
Watch: Notre Dame football commit Ayden Pouncey with an amazing touchdown catch While Notre Dame football 2026 commit Ayden Pouncey will line up as a defensive back at the next level, that still won't stop his team from using him on offense during his last high school season. Football in his home state of Florida has a much different spring than others, as they play teams in exhibitions, which is exactly what happened on Friday night. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 160-pound Pouncey added to his highlight reel yesterday, with an amazing, weaving through the defense touchdown reception. The Irish got a very good one in Pouncey, as he's ranked as the No. 146 overall prospect nationally by the 247Sports Composite. Notre Dame has had success with Xavier Watts making a transition from wide receiver to safety, and they could have a good problem with the opposite switch with the star safety. Pouncey is showing that he's not just a star on defense, but he could be a difference-maker on offense as well if needed.

Notre Dame gets a huge 2026 commitment during the NFL draft
Notre Dame gets a huge 2026 commitment during the NFL draft While it might not have played a big role in Ayden Pouncey's decision, he committed to Notre Dame during the final rounds of the NFL draft. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 160-pound safety comes from a football family, as both of his brothers played high-level football as well. Both of them were with the Florida Gators at some point in their careers, so the Irish luring him up North should be viewed as a massive recruiting win. As the No. 140 overall player in his class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Pouncey brings the size, speed, and talent that Notre Dame looks for in its safeties. They love going after larger players at that position, and that goal was accomplished on Saturday. Notre Dame now has twelve commits in the class, one that is ranked as the No. 3 class in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings.

Notre Dame football is trending for 4-star 2026 Florida safety
Notre Dame football is trending for 4-star 2026 Florida safety Notre Dame football was on a bit of a heater in recruiting a few weeks ago, and while it's cooled off with the commitments, it hasn't with players favoring the Irish. On Thursday, On3's Steve Wiltfong put in a prediction that Notre Dame would land Florida 2026 safety Ayden Pouncey. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 160-pound prospect is a bit on the lighter side for the position, but has the frame to add plenty of weight to physically handle the back end of a defense. Pouncey is ranked as the No. 140 overall prospect by the 247Sports Composite Rankings, putting him firmly in the 4-star range. He does have multiple official visits set up over the next few months, and will be in South Bend starting June 13th. Football runs in the family, as his brother Ethan played for the Florida Gators, and his other brother, Jordan also played for the Gators and the Texas Longhorns. Notre Dame has recently started to go after more prospects with football bloodlines, and if Wiltfong is correct, another would be on the way to the Irish.
