Elite 2026 RB recruit Javian Osborne compares Notre Dame to a historic NFL franchise

Notre Dame football is one of two finalists for 2026 Texas running back Javian Osborne, and on Monday he had some very kind words for the Irish.

When speaking with On3’s Josh Newberg, the 5-foot, 10-inch and 195-pound star compared Notre Dame to a historic NFL franchise. Osborne said “Notre Dame is like the Dallas Cowboys of college football.”

The nation’s No. 83 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings has the Irish and Michigan as his two finalists, and while there isn’t a commitment date set, he’ll visit both of the schools in mid-June.
