The 6-5, 245-pound versatile defender chose Notre Dame over Penn State and Kentucky. O’Neil, a consensus four-star recruit, ranks as the #73 overall player, #9 EDGE, and #3 player in New Jersey in the class of 2027.
From Ramsey, NJ, O’Neil attends Don Bosco Prep. Across 12 games played this past season, the junior posted 54 tackles, 16 TFLs, 7.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles as Don Bosco appeared in the State Championship, ultimately falling short.

O’Neil joins Notre Dame’s 2027 class as its 11th overall commit. In addition to being the class’s first EDGE, O’Neil’s pledge also marks the Irish’s first New Jersey commit since Nolan James Jr. and Elijah Burress in the class of 2025.
