Notre Dame Class of 2027 Recruiting Big Board: Defense
Notre Dame looks to strike lightning twice with the 2027 class after landing the best class we've seen in a generation. We hadn't seen anything like this since the Weis days, when he pulled high-caliber talent such as Jimmy Clausen, Golden Tate, Michael Floyd, Harrison Smith, Kyle Rudolph, and Manti Te'o. Be that as impressive as it is, Marcus Freeman and staff were able to top that; in fact, some say the 2026 class is the best in program history. Notre Dame looks to continue

Malachi Fields Draft Profile: Where Could Notre Dame's Star Wideout Land?
The 2026 NFL draft has a plethora of talented wide receivers, making it one of the deepest position groups in the draft. Malachi Fields is a big part of that, but with a very up and down draft process, Fields' future seems as unpredictable as ever. Although Notre Dame's backfield is getting most of the attention in the draft, Malachi Fields is also set to hear his name called early on day two (most likely). Fields largely flew under the radar for much of the 2025 season at No

Pre-Snap Command and Boundary Arm Talent: CJ Carr’s 2025 Evolution and Growth
CJ Carr’s 2025 season put two traits on tape: pre-snap command that expanded over time, and boundary/vertical arm talent that let Notre Dame stress defenses from the far hash. The arc shows up clearly when you evaluate points from the beginning, middle and end of the year—and if you look at how the offense asked Carr to operate before the snap and where the ball went after it.

Notre Dame and the NFL Draft: Underrated Stars Ready to Shine
Last year, we watched Xavier Watts, a Bronko Nagurksi Trophy winner, fall all the way into the third round of the NFL Draft despite his accolades and elite production. Watts would inevitably prove every team wrong for passing on him, as he was a finalist for Defensive Rookie of the Year this past season. It seems like every year, Notre Dame has a few extremely talented players who slip in the draft, only to break out in the NFL. This year, two slept-on offensive stars will so

New Face in the Secondary: Analyzing one of Notre Dame's Latest Additions
College football in 2026 is truly a war of attrition. Teams have always had to account for losing players through graduation and pursuing their dreams at the next level, but the transfer portal era has made building depth and keeping position groups stocked with talent an unenviable task. Recruiting will always be the foundational piece of any contending program, but if you want to consistently place yourself in title talks, using the transfer portal is not only an additional
