Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price is using the offseason to improve, as this video shows
For any athlete, the off-season is the time to improve on your game, and for Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, it looks like he's well on his way to doing just that. The rising junior is coming off a season where he had 120 carries for 746 yards and 10 touchdowns, as many would say that constitutes a breakout year. There is no doubt in my mind that Price is just scratching the surface of his ability, and in a video shared by trainer Sean Cooper, it looks like he's on his way for a big 2025 campaign. Advertisement While he will still share carries with Jeremiyah Love, Price is an integral part of the offense, especially considering how much time his counterpart missed last year. Notre Dame's running back room is deep and talented, with many expecting the pair to be the main ball carriers. Aneyas Williams will also get plenty of run, but Love and Price are the workhorses. Expect Price to pick up some of the yardage that Riley Leonard accounted for in 2024, and don't be surprised to see each to the top two Irish backs going over 1,000 yards.

Notre Dame football fans found out earlier this week that it will have two representatives on the cover of EA Sports NCAA College Football 2026 in head coach Marcus Freeman and star running back Jeremiyah Love. On Thursday morning, a game trailer was shared on social media, and once again, the Irish are one of the many teams across the nation that got love from the video game series. Early in the almost 2 minute preview, we catch a glimpse of Notre Dame Stadium, but that wasn't all of the Irish they showed. Later you see Love trucking over a defender, and then Freeman meeting at midfield with another coach. Once again college football fans across the nation will get their opportunity to build a team, and surely many of us will be trying to create a dynasty with Notre Dame.

Notre Dame football offers multiple prospects on Wednesday including a 5-star tackle
Notre Dame football went on another one of its offer sprees on Wednesday, as they sent out multiple scholarships to stars across the country. Once again, the Irish weren't focusing on just one class, as multiple were given the good news. They currently have 16 commits in the 2026 group, but should expect at least 8-10 more verbals before it is all said and done. Advertisement Notre Dame does not have a commitment in the 2027 cycle, but it is just a matter of time until that changes. They are hard at work on this class, and it should pay off soon. Find out below who the Irish offered on Wednesday, as they continue their impressive recruiting success following a run to the College Football Playoff championship game. (Note: All prospect rankings are according to the 247Sports Composite. 2026 tight end Brayden Fogle The Ohio native was one of the targets, as the 6-foot, 3-inch and 225-pounder is one of the best prospects in the country. He's ranked as the nation's No. 162 prospect and has a very impressive offer list. Notre Dame is a bit late to his recruitment, but still has plenty of time to make up ground. 2027 safety Tory Pittman III Notre Dame has a great recent recruiting success with some of the top members of the secondary, and Pittman could be the next one that lands in South Bend. The 6-foot and 185-pound star is one of the best players in his class, ranking as the No. 40 overall prospect. 2026 Tight end Preston Fryzel Another offer to a 2026 tight end, Fryzel also resides in Ohio. It's pretty clear that the Irish have made that a focus state, especially considering head coach Marcus Freeman's connection. At 6-foot, 4-inches and 220-pound, Fryzel fits the mold of a big time prospect, even though his ranking, No. 683, doesn't reflect that. 2027 Offensive tackle Mark Matthews My favorite offer of the day went out to Matthews, who is the No. 8 overall player in his class. At 6-foot, 6-inches and 270-pounds, he has the frame of an elite tackle who could protect any quarterbacks blindside. Notre Dame has had a good amount of success recruiting the state of Florida, and hopefully that continues with Matthews. Overview It's become pretty obvious that Notre Dame is looking for a tight end in the 2026 cycle, with the two new offers out on Wednesday. They currently don't have a player committed at the position, as the search continues to find a fit. The 2027 offers are all about relationships and evaluation, they like both of them enough that waiting to offer later didn't make sense. I love the aggressiveness of this staff on the trail, and the success should continue even if it's not immediate.

National analyst believes that Notre Dame's Jaden Greathouse will soon be a household name
The hype building around Notre Dame football wide receiver Jaden Greathouse is continuing after an impressive finish to the 2024-25 season. The rising junior finished his season with two consecutive 100-yard receiving games with three scores, showing his gamebreaking ability when the Irish needed it the most. On3's J.D. Pickell believes that Greathouse just scratched the surface in the final two College Football Playoff games, and thinks that big things are head for the Notre Dame receiver. Advertisement He said that the Irish will have a much different passing game this fall, as he expects that CJ Carr will be the starting quarterback which will help the vertical threats, and Greathouse will be one of the biggest benefactors. Pickell says that 'he's a matchup problem when he's a slot,' as he believes the coaching staff play him more from that position. 'Nationally, college football fans will know who Jaden Greathouse is by the end of the year,' is how he concluded his thoughts. It's hard to disagree with how Pickell sees the Notre Dame offense going this fall, as we all believe the passing game will take a step forward with whoever is starting at quarterback, Carr or Kenny Minchey.

The College Football Playoff has set its dates, kickoff times and networks for 2025-26
It is time to set your calendars Notre Dame football fans, as the College Football Playoff has announced its information for the 2025-26 schedule. As we all saw this past season, the Irish made a run all the way to the championship game, and the expectations will be just as high this coming season. Since Notre Dame is not affiliated with a conference, they will have the opportunity to host a first-round game or go on the road to its opponents venue. The dates for this round have yet to be released. Advertisement Like this past year, one game will be played before the others on New Year's Eve, while the other three will be played on New Year's Day. These four games will be played at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl, Capital One Orange Bowl, The Rose Bowl and the All-State Sugar Bowl. The semifinals will be on Jan. 8th and Jan. 9th, with the first game being the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl and the second as the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl. The championship game will be played in Miami on Jan. 19th, which means that Notre Dame could potentially play its first and last game in the same stadium.
