Although Marcus Freeman and his staff got off to a bit of a slow start, they have been able to put together quite an exciting and talented portal class that is undoubtedly one of the best in the country. Good things come to those who wait, and that adage proved truthful for the Fighting Irish.

As the transfer portal window heats up in early January 2026, Notre Dame's defensive line has emerged as the program's most pressing area of need heading into the upcoming season. Significant attrition, including the retirement of veteran captain Donovan Hinish, the departure of edge rusher Joshua Burnham to Indiana, and the entry into the portal of rising interior lineman Armel Mukam , has left the Irish thin up front. Mukam, a former top-200 recruit in the 2023 class who p

Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame have officially signed the future of their offense. And now, we can officially announce the offensive side of this historic class of 2026! Recruiting is a roller coaster ride for both the coaches and the fans who follow it. There is a lot of work for the coaching staff. They spend months building relationships with the recruits and their families, visiting them at their high schools, and hosting them for games on campus, all while preparing the c

Notre Dame continues its tremendous run of landing top talent in the 2027 class, as Elite 4-Star Safety Khalil Terry announced his commitment to the Fighting Irish.

Notre Dame has wrapped up one of the biggest recruiting weekends of Marcus Freeman's career thus far. The "who's who" of top-tier talent from across the country was in attendance on Saturday to watch the Irish dominate the USC Trojans. The weekend went about as good as it gets, with many of the attendees raving about their time on campus. One of those was C/O 2028 Composite 5-star RB Zaiden Jernigan.

As recruiting efforts turn towards the 2027 cycle, there is a WR on Notre Dame's radar that is currently the No. 2 prospect in the nation at his position. Monshun Sales, who plays his high school ball at Lawrence North in Indianapolis is a composite 5-star WR who has landed 36 offers before his Junior season begins.

Kemon Spell, who has been committed to the Nittany Lions for just about a year, is the number one running back in the 2027 class and the number one player in the state of Pennsylvania. Spell, who picked up an official offer from Notre Dame in March of 2025, has now set an "unofficial" visit to South Bend in September for the Texas A&M game. Can Seider once again work his magic and reel in an elite blue-chip talent away from his former employer?
