Two Notre Dame football commits make big jumps in Rivals most recent rankings update
Two Notre Dame football commits make big jumps in Rivals most recent rankings update It shouldn't come as a surprise that Notre Dame football has done its homework with recruits, often ignoring early recruiting rankings and trusting its scouting department. It has paid off with numerous players, and it looks like the Irish have struck gold again with two of their 2026 commitments. Both offensive tackle Ben Nichols and defensive end Ebenezer Ewetade made big jumps in Rivals most recent class rankings update. Nichols went from an unranked player to the No. 124 overall player in the country, and while Ewetade was ranked, he made a 79-spot leap to No. 218 overall. While there will still be other changes to these rankings in the future, it is still proof that Notre Dame can find gems in recruiting. The Irish currently have 14 commits in the 2026 cycle, one that is ranked by the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings as the No. 2 group in the nation. It very well could be the highest ranked class of head coach Marcus Freeman's career.
