It seems as if Notre Dame is making daily headlines this offseason on the recruiting trail, particularly in regards to its 2026 class. But that doesn’t mean the Fighting Irish aren’t looking to make headlines in their 2027 class and beyond.
One particular prospect the Irish have their eye on is Evangel Christian Academy (Shreveport, LA) quarterback Peyton Houston, who made quite the impression on quarterbacks coach Gino Guidugli and offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock according to a report by Mike Singer. Houston is one of two signal-callers from the 2027 class to hold an offer from the Irish, the other being North Cobb (Kennesaw, GA) product Teddy Jarrard.
The 5-foot-11, 198-pounder is a four-star recruit who is considered the No. 8 quarterback in his class, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Like any school competing for the pledge of an elite quarterback, ND has some stiff competition. Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Georgia and USC are among those who are trying to secure his pledge.
As a sophomore, Houston threw for 4,480 yards with 38 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions. Elite numbers indeed.
