Notre Dame just signed the highest-ranked class in a generation when the class of 2026 put ink to paper last week. And if landing the No. 2 overall-ranked class for 2026 wasn't enough, they continued to hit the ground running with an early star-studded 2027 class, with four 4-star recruits already committed to the Irish. Today, they landed yet another highly touted recruit in 4-star CB Ashton "Ace" Alston.

This past season, he amassed 53 tackles (1.5 tackles for a loss), 16 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions, and averaged 10 points per game in 16 varsity games as a 10th grader in basketball.
Before committing to the Irish today, Alston held 42 offers from such notable schools as Indiana, Ohio State, Tennessee, USC, LSU, Michigan, Ole Miss, Oregon, Texas A&M, and Notre Dame, among many others.
