Notre Dame is trying to use its recent success on the recruiting trail, not only in the 2026 class, but in the one’s following it as well.
The Irish have been sending out plenty of offers to 2027 prospects, and on Monday they offered one of the country’s best in Jalen Brewster. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 302-pound defensive tackle is currently a 5-star prospect, ranking as the No. 7 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite.
Brewster’s list of impressive offers continues to grow, as Notre Dame has joined the likes of Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State to try and win out in his recruitment. His father Robert played at Ball State and was the Dallas Cowboys third-round pick in 2009.
It should come as no surprise that the Irish are once again offering the son of a former player, as they have shown a penchant for that over the last few cycles. They’ve had good luck luring away legacy players from other schools like 2026 linebacker Thomas Davis Jr. whose father played for UGA, and hopefully the same result with Brewster.
