Tight End U added the 2025 class's first such player today when Preston Fryzel announced his commitment to the Irish. The 6'4", 220-pound Ohioan was one of seven then-uncommitted prospects who took an official visit to Notre Dame two weekends ago. Of those seven the Irish have since landed Fryzel, Joey O'Brien, Khary Adams, and [...]
The first half of Notre Dame's 2025 football schedule features a nice mix of opponents and some challenging games. The second half of the schedule kicks off with rivals USC in what could be their final visit to South Bend for the foreseeable future. After that, the schedule gets extremely manageable with games that will [...]
Notre Dame added a huge piece to the 2026 secondary Friday when blue chip corner Khary Adams announced his commitment to the Irish. Things are going so well for Irish recruiting now that I pre-wrote the “wrong” post Thursday, thinking Joey O’Brien would commit before the 6’2”, 175 pound Marylander. This is what we call [...]
Laissez les bons temps rouler pour Notre Dame - recruiting is heating up for real for real as we officially move into summertime. Notre Dame secured a massive commitment from elite talent Joey O'Brien today, who is a five star on 247 and a consensus top 150 prospect across the four major services. The 6'3", [...]
Marcus Freeman and Joe Rudolph are chugging coffee this morning, because man did they ever close on a prospect that it is literally and figuratively quite large when Grayson McKeogh announced his commitment to the Irish last night. Notre Dame was in good shape with the 6"8", 280-pound Pennsylvanian earlier in his recruitment before losing [...]
In the first installment of this series we saw a potential All-American in the season opener, a feisty athletic playmaker from A&M, and a scary (in a bad way for them) situation in a rebuilding Purdue for their quarterback position. In the next 3 games of the season the Irish embark on an interesting schedule [...]
Notre Dame's front loaded schedule inevitably means some of the best quarterbacks they'll face in the regular season will come early and often. It'll be quick out of the gate facing one of the more recognizable quarterbacks in the country, and then A&M back home, plus an in-state rival comes right afterward. Today, we'll look [...]
If last year was any indication, the SEC is going to continue looking quite different without the behemoth that is Nick Saban patrolling the sidelines. For the first time since 2013-14, the SEC has gone 2 straight seasons without winning a National Championship. Sacrilegious! We won't pour one out for the league though, they'll be [...]
Thanks to one coach who will get to in short order, there's been a lot of focus in the news with the ACC this off-season. With a couple schools going through a transition period, and surely a couple more not far away from making that decision on a new coach, today's article might prove the [...]
We're heading into year two of the Big Ten after they swallowed up most of the Pacific league and it'll take several more years for it to feel normal, if it ever does. This is a conference with the reigning National Champion and the champion the previous season is now going through some drama that [...]
My first off-season project is taking a look at the coaching situation throughout the country. First up, we'll deal with the Big 12--one of the more interesting leagues in the nation. Are they slowly dying? Maybe sneakily on the rise? Perhaps lacking identity and not enough rivalries to get outsiders to tune in on the [...]
The NFL will likely never be like college football when it comes to uniform craziness. While a handful of college programs remain fiercely conservative with their on-field attire, the vast majority of uniform fun has started at the sport and trickled out to other levels. In recent years, the normally stuffy NFL has made an [...]
Who's ready for a real quarterback competition?!? Notre Dame didn't have to begin the 2025 campaign with a tricky season-opener while starting a highly inexperienced quarterback. Riding with rising redshirt junior Steve Angeli or bringing in a transfer again would've been the safe, and perhaps smart, play for a program looking to ride momentum from [...]
The NFL Draft wrapped up this past Saturday night in Green Bay with 6 Notre Dame players hearing their name called to join their new professional homes. Irish rival USC had 3 picks so the all-time lead grows to 5 for the good guys before next year's draft in Pittsburgh. This wasn't the draft Notre [...]
The 90th edition of the NFL Draft kicks off this Thursday from Green Bay with the Tennessee Titans--coming off a 3-14 season and tied with the Browns and Giants with the worst record but having a weaker strength of schedule--awarded the first overall selection for the first time since the franchise relocated from Houston. The [...]
