Also, didn’t Jensen just drop a top 4 and he eliminated ND?

Must be someone else. Jensen just visited.

Way-too-early Notre Dame football 2026 mock recruiting class

There’s a long way to go until National Signing Day for the 2026 recruiting class, but here's an early look at who Notre Dame could land.

www.on3.com

Here is his mock class:

Noah Grubbs
Javian Osborne, Brian Bonner
Kaydon Finley, Dylan Faison, Bubba Frazier, Brayden Robinson
Evan Jacobson, Isaac Jensen
Grayson McKeogh, Gregory Patrick, Tyler Merrill, Ben Nichols, Sullivan Garvin
Ebenezer Ewetade, Rodney Dunham, McHale Blade
Tiki Hola, Elijah Golden
Tank King, Thomas Davis Jr, Jakobe Clapper
Chaston Smith, Joey O’Brien
Nicholas Reddish, Ayden Pouncey

He went a little conservative on numbers at certain positions. I have a hard time believing ND will only take 5DL & 4 DBs. This is an good argument that they will take one more at each position, maybe even two.

Where do i sign? This would be a 283 overall class (probably ends up higher has some of the lower rated guys get bumped up to fringe four stars).

Golden and Pouncey feel like the biggest reaches, But the rest is totally feasible

I believe he's thinking of Mark Sutter, many surprise ND didn't make his Top 4.

They shouldn’t be surprised. He was a late offer, and has canceled two visits. I get the Illinois thing, but it has never worked out getting him on campus. I’m sure they will give it one more try before one of the likely two TE commitments come onboard

I might be getting him confused with another TE. Jensen is the TR from Nebraska right? I feel like Sutter is SEC bound.

Long & Lean WR.

11.04 PR in the 100m.

50-975-10 TDs as a junior. 19.5 YPC.

Only hiccup is that he's announcing in nine days. Clemson appears to be the favourite.

How are we just now offering

 

[CanadalovesND]

I'll add that Sellars is also good friends with Thomas Davis, Jr.

Sellars is keen to visit ND before his announcement. So you never know. He could decide to postpone his decision if that visit comes to fruition and gives him something more to ponder over.

Singer is saying that ND is pushing for him as a top of the board target.

He doesn't give more details, but it's likely there has been a relationship for a bit of time before he was offered. ND typically does not go from zero contact to an offer to making someone a top priority in one afternoon.

These things happen.

ND is not the only school that will offer a prospect "late". All the big programs are still sending out offers to 2026 recruits.

Granger, tell your neighbor to tell his staff to pull their heads out of their ass for 08. This is inexcusable.

Offering date and top of the board target don't jive

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Offering date and top of the board target don't jive

I suppose it’s possible there was significant due diligence by the ND staff or another type delay to make sure an offer could be made.

Disney on top of the current market is a triple hit to the nuts.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

My furnace took a shit on me last night. Doesn’t it realize how much money I’ve already lost in the last 60 days???

I’m going to attempt a you tube fix tonight before calling someone Friday.

Wore a ND shirt yesterday. Got 2 “fuck you” and a “faggot”. Was a good day.

Cashed out my children’s 529 plan. They are learning a life lesson.

Who could give up that $500 credit from the IDOR

 

[NDPhilly]

All of the DLs

Assume he’s a back up option at DT? Seems like he sunk in the rankings after starting a 4 star early.

Hola is essentially locked up, so hopefully this isn’t a sign of where we sit with Clark / Golden.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Carter Auman with another cripted tweeet this morning wonder if we got another commitent from a DL guy

 

[NDPhilly]

What does it mean??? Myron (guy dancing) is also on the recruiting staff fwiw.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Matt Freeman with the repost.

 

[Dale]

Tiki Hola would be most direct reference possible

 

[NDFAN2008]

I'm guessing it's gotta do with DL maybe they are saying we only have so many spots get in now or be left out.
