Marcus Freeman did an amazing job building a 2026 recruiting class that did not have any flips or de-commitments. There are 27 new recruits who will be heading to South Bend, and now Freeman is turning all of his attention to the Class of 2027.
The next big star the Fighting Irish are hoping to get a commitment from is five-star safety Honor Fa'alave-Johnson. The top-ranked safety has been named the No. 1 player at the position in the Class of 2027. Recently, Fa'alave-Johnson announced his Top 10 schools, and Notre Dame was able to make the cut.
