Rivals250 DB Joey O'Brien is Irish.

@Eric Hansen has the commitment story:

DB Joey O'Brien adds to Notre Dame recruiting hot streak, with room to grow

The 6-foot-5, four-star safety gives the Irish their 19th commitment in the 2026 class and third in a three-day span

I’m still bummed on missing Vallejo, makes Golden almost a must-get. Perhaps the ncaa will hammer scUM and we’ll flip him later.

Also agree on Finley, no issues on size, speed, hands, routes, and I’d like to see Brown get a big win on an instate, legacy guy.

With the players that are left after O'Brien commits, I feel that Golden is the key to this class b/c all the bases would be covered. I wouldn't mind another elite LB. If we get Findlay and Fitzgerald I would keep adding on defense front 7 for depth.

Golden and Finley are the key to me. Need an interior DL and a top WR.

this class is really a cut above the last several under MF. Not getting the 5 star guys in bunches or anything .. but the top 10 guys in the class are all borderline top 200 overall talents. the talent is deep, its balanced across the board at key positions of need, and ND is still in play with several more relevant/impact prospects.

my guess is this class finishes #6ish when all is said and done.

Good factual analysis…perhaps you can update the F+ when you have some free time.

Four-star safety Gavin Williams, a 2027 recruit from La Verne (Calif.) Damien, plans to visit Notre Dame this weekend.

Notre Dame offered Williams in March on Pot of Gold Day. Defensive backs coach Mike Mickens made a stop at Damien High this spring.

Rivals ranks Williams as the No. 13 safety and No. 166 overall in the 2027 class. He has more than 30 offers, including USC, UCLA, Ohio State, Oregon and Georgia.

Oregon announced its signing of former Notre Dame shortstop Addison Amaral on Friday.

Amaral received All-ACC Third Team honors this spring for her sophomore season. She was Notre Dame's best hitter by a pretty clear margin. She hit .365 with 57 hits, 11 doubles, nine home runs and 43 RBIs in 55 games last season. She finished with a .463 on-base percentage with 27 walks, four hit-by-pitches and 15 strikeouts. He slugging percentage was .609.

love this commit. 6'2", track speed, and ballhawk instincts - and now he's going to learn how to play from Mike Mickens...

It’s early to worry about class rank, but we’re 2, 3, and 6 right now in Rivals 247 and ON3. Players will be re-ranked some more and there are teams like Bama that are only at 7 commits.

Main thing is we are getting the players the staff wants and I pretty much trust their judgment.

Exactly. Could care less about what some subjective website thinks. Yawn.

I covered the recruiting momentum Notre Dame is building in an intel piece earlier today. Let's follow that up with a trio of FutureCast predictions in favor of Notre Dame.

As always, I'm sharing them on The Insider Lounge first for Inside ND Sports subscribers. I'll officially submit them in the Rivals system on Saturday.

As of today, Kaydon Finley would be my #1 wish going forward.......at all positions.

The only reason USC has the highest ranked class is because they are up to 30 verbals, and shooting for 35. Quality matters; however, sheer numbers matter as well in these rankings.

The formula that 247 uses in their class rankings de emphasizes sheer quantity but doesn't entirely discount it. So if you have a bunch more commits than other teams your recruiting score will definitely benefit but not to an insane degree. 247 uses a gaussian formula/rating scale

Wow super impressed with the recruiting this season. Notre Dame and Marcus Freeman are really riding the momentum from the national title run season last year everything is trending upwards at ND right now
