Notre Dame’s 2026 recruiting efforts are focused on bolstering both offensive firepower and defensive talent, with several high-priority targets emerging as key prospects. Here’s a breakdown of their top remaining targets:

Top Offensive Targets​

1. Brayden Robinson(4-star WR, Red Oak, TX)
   
   • Stats: 79 receptions, 1,408 yards, 15 TDs as a junior.
   • Interest: Received in-person visits from HC Marcus Freeman and WR coach Mike Brown in January 20255. Notre Dame’s QB commit Noah Grubbs actively recruiting him
   • Ranking: No. 38 WR nationally, No. 26 prospect in Texas (On3)
2. Gregory Patrick(4-star WR, Fort Lauderdale, FL)
   
   • Speed: Elite track athlete with offers from Miami and Florida State.
   • Visit: Attended ND’s junior day in January 2025
3. Felix Ojo(4-star OT, Mansfield, TX)
   
   • Size: 6-6, 280-pound tackle with offers from Texas and Oklahoma.
   • Recruitment: Visited Notre Dame in January 2025; prioritized for OL depth

Top Defensive Targets​

1. Bralan Womack(5-star S, Bogart, GA)
   
   • Ranking: No. 1 safety nationally (247Sports).
   • Interest: Visited ND for the Alabama vs. Georgia game in September 2024; competing with Clemson and Ohio State
2. Ekene Ogboko(4-star DL, Durham, NC)
   
   • Size: 6-5, 265-pound edge rusher.
   • Recruitment: Visited ND junior day in January 2025; major target alongside Zavion Griffin-Haynes (unranked LB/ATH)
3. Tristen Keys (WR/CB, Hattiesburg, MS) & Elbert Hill(CB, Akron, OH)
   
   • Versatility: Both visited ND for marquee 2024 games; Keys projects as a two-way player, while Hill is a lockdown corner

Other Notable Prospects​

• Jett Washington (ATH, Las Vegas, NV): Dynamic athlete with offers from SEC and Pac-12 programs; visited ND in 2024
• Zavion Griffin-Haynes (LB/ATH, Charlotte, NC): High-upside prospect targeted during Freeman’s January 2025 NC recruiting trip

Recruiting Strategy​

• Offensive Focus: Prioritizing playmakers (WRs) and offensive line depth, with three OL already committed.
• Defensive Push: Targeting elite secondary talent (Womack, Hill) and disruptive linemen (Ogboko).
• Visits: Junior days and in-person coach visits (e.g., Freeman’s Texas trip for Robinson) critical for closing gaps

Notre Dame’s class currently ranks No. 8 nationally (On3) but landing even a few of these top targets could propel it into the top five.

Another soft interior to be exploited.
