Notre Dame stays hot on the recruiting trail, as 4-star 2026 TE Ian Premer commits
Notre Dame football's recruiting hot streak is not slowing down anytime soon, and on Thursday afternoon they added yet another talented prospect to its 2026 recruiting class. The Irish were viewed as a contender for Kansas tight end Ian Premer, but it looked like it would be tough to pull him away from his home state, but that's exactly what happened. Notre Dame beat out Kansas State, Kansas and Iowa State for the 6-foot, 5-inch and 220-pound tight end. It's a big verbal for the Irish, as Premer is ranked as the No. 44 prospect in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite. He becomes the second player at the position for Notre Dame, joining Preston Fryzel, who committed just a few days ago. The class is now up to twenty-two commits, with room for just a few more as Notre Dame tries to shore up a class that is viewed by many as one of the top collections of talent in the 2026 cycle.

Ranking the Contenders: Four-star TE Ian Premer sets official visits
One of the top tight ends in the country for the 2026 class has narrowed things down in his recruitment. Great Bend (Kan.) High four-star tight end Ian Premer dropped his top five on Wednesday night. Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Michigan and Notre Dame have made the cut. Those schools will also get official visits from the Kansas native. The dates are as follows: Advertisement Michigan: May 30 Kansas: June 6 Notre Dame: June 10 Iowa State: June 13 Kansas State: June 20 With those visits now set, let's rank the contenders for the elite tight end from the Midwest. CLASS OF 2025 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State CLASS OF 2026 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State CLASS OF 2027 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State TRANSFER PORTAL: Full coverage | Player ranking | Team ranking | Transfer search | Transfer Tracker 1) Kansas State The Wildcats enter the official visit season for Premer as the favorites. He grew up a fan of the program, has been to campus many times and just saw the Wildcats hold onto Linkon Cure last cycle. Forming a nice duo with Cure could be tough to pass up.

Kansas has a lot of momentum recruiting inside the state this cycle. The team currently has verbal commitments from five of the top ten prospects in Kansas. But landing Premer would mean the most. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH KANSAS FANS AT 3) Iowa State I have a hard time picturing Premer leaving Kansas but if he did I have Iowa State as the likely destination. Life in Ames is similar to Manhattan and Lawrence so that wouldn't be much of an adjustment. But coach Matt Campbell and his staff do a great job of connecting with prospects and are building another nice regional class.

It's very difficult to see Premer going to a school far away from home but these two blue bloods will get a chance to host him. The tight end tradition at Notre Dame is excellent and Michigan has a lot of momentum as a program right now. Still, it'll take a lot for these schools to be serious contenders.

Elite tight end, Ian Premer, sets Michigan football spring visit
Michigan football has a long history of having elite tight end play, most recently with players such as Jake Butt, Luke Schoonmaker, and Colston Loveland. Could the Wolverines be adding another elite tight end to the list in 2026? The Wolverines do have need for big names after striking out on longtime commit Andrew Olesh, the 2025 tight end who flipped to Penn State just after early signing day. And one recruit is giving Michigan football a hard look -- 2026 Great Bend (Kan.) four-star TE Ian Premer. Premer is listed as the No. 23 player in the country, regardless of position, by On3. And, also according to On3, he will make a spring visit to Ann Arbor on March 22. 🚨NEWS🚨 Elite TE Ian Premer will take spring visits to Miami, Notre Dame and Michigan, @SWiltfong_ reports✈️Premer ranks No. 25 NATL. (No. 3 TE) in the 2026 — On3 Recruits (@On3Recruits) February 24, 2025 Of course, Miami and Notre Dame are two other programs that also heavily feature the tight end, so his visits there are big threats. The Wolverines brought in flex-tight end Eli Owens last year (who projects more to fullback) while signing Brady Prieskorn and Hogan Hansen the year beforehand.
