Which prospects Notre Dame has offers over the last few days
Notre Dame football has been busy recruiting over the last week. Find out which prospects got offers in the last few days.
We are all moving onward to the 2026 college football season, and in the dead of winter, that means we are looking at early point spreads. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish open the season with a Shamrock Series game inside the home of the Green Bay Packers, Lambeau Field, to take on the Wisconsin Badgers.
Sure, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman was disappointed with being left out of this season’s College Football Playoff. He also believes the Fighting Irish must ensure they don’t suffer the same fate in future years.
With the team in place to win it all, the Fighting Irish need to push their collective chips in for next season.
Notre Dame’s 2025 season went by in such a blur and a blink that it felt like the Fighting Irish didn’t get to enjoy the full extent of what Malachi Fields had to offer. It sure seemed like he was priming himself to be a real force of a pass catcher in the College Football Playoff.
You can make an argument that college football's biggest rivalry at the moment is between Cam Newton and Notre Dame. During last Friday's episode of "First Take," Newton accused the College Football Playoff of giving Notre Dame preferential treatment.
There is a Mike Mickens replacement that could make a lot of sense for Notre Dame football and HC Marcus Freeman.
Tony Jones, Jr. was Notre Dame's leading rusher in 2019, and his CFL signing means for a necessary look at the Fighting Irish's growth at running back.
