The focus now has turned to the 2027 class for Notre Dame football, after it signed all twenty-seven of its commitments on Wednesday afternoon.
The Irish could be adding another in the final period in February, but that isn’t assured at the moment. Right now, the next cycle has seen Notre Dame get off to a great start, with five commitments to date. That number will fluctuate over the next few months as players will soon make decisions about their future.
Notre Dame has tons of recruiting momentum, and is looking to capitalize on it once again in the 2027 class, and here is an overview of some of the most recent updates from Irish targets.
(Note: All rankings are according to the 247Sports Composite.)
Offer out to 2027 edge Joseph Buchanan III and making his trimmed list
Buchanan was offered by the Irish on Tuesday, and then on Thursday announced his top-six schools, which included Notre Dame. There are plenty of familiar names on the 6-foot, 5-inch and 255-pounders remaining list. He’s one of the best prospects in the class, ranking as the No. 178 overall player.
2027 Tight end Jaxon Dollar cuts his list to 10 teams
Notre Dame has long been after the No. 55 overall prospect, and the hard work has paid off. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 222-pound tight end very much likes the Irish, and has took numerous trips this fall. I think Notre Dame has a great shot here as it looked like he very much enjoyed his visit earlier this fall.
Offer to 2028 defensive back Kinnard Mahomes
The Maryland prospect isn’t ranked at the moment, actually no one is in his class. Mahomes has great size already at 6-foot and 165-pounds and hasn’t quite blown up nationally. He’s does have offers from Syracuse and Boston College along with some MAC schools. Notre Dame could be in early before he becomes a national prospect.
