TOP TARGET: Predicting the next 5 Notre Dame commitments following the Fighting Irish landing Georgia playmaker Jonaz Walton.
Notre Dame football has continued their momentum on the recruiting trail, landing a commitment from 2026 Carrollton (Ga.) Central running back Jonaz Walton. Combining Walton with fellow running back commit Javian Osborne makes for one of the best duos in the backfield we have seen for the Fighting Irish in some time now. It’s hard not to be excited about what head coach Marcus Freeman and his staff are doing right now.
TE Evan Jacobson – Waukee (Iowa) High School
At 6-7 and 220 pounds, you are going to blink your eyes, and Jacobson is going to be over 250 pounds. His game is very reminiscent of former Irish star Kyle Rudolph. Notre Dame is the team to beat currently, and has a chance to close this one in the near future. I love where things are with Jacobson overall.
S Nick Reddish – Charlotte (N.C.) Independence
The Fighting Irish offered Reddish after his sophomore season at Independence, and things got serious quickly. If not for a junior season injury, I believe Reddish would already be in the class, but expect him to end up in it regardless. The 5-11, 185-pound safety is a really versatile player on the back end.
CB Joey O’Brien – Glenside (Pa.) La Salle College
The Irish staff loves O’Brien as a cornerback, but he could also play both safety or wide receiver. The 6-4, 190-pound athlete is a tremendous talent, and offers a ton of upside. Penn State has been the main competitor against Notre Dame, but Oregon has made a late push. This is going to be a battle.
WR Kohen Brown – Waxahachie (Texas) High School
Brown was offered by Notre Dame last week, and quickly decommitted from USC a couple days later. The Texas speedster has already set up an official visit to South Bend, and is friends with Irish running back commit Javian Osborne. Things are heating up quickly
