Notre Dame Locked Up Its 2028 Quarterback, And Rivals Are Absolutely Not Ready For This

Hold up, Emerald City! You gotta hear this. While we're all out here bleeding green and blue for our beloved Seahawks and Mariners, college football is cooking up some wild stuff. Notre Dame football, yeah, *those* Fighting Irish, are making some absolutely insane moves that have to make other programs sweat. They've already snagged their four-star quarterback for the 2028 class. Seriously, 2028! That's like planning your T-Mobile Park trip for the World Series, years in advance, with your star player already signed up. And the crazy part? They are closing in on the top spot for the *2027* recruiting class rankings, too. The future in South Bend is looking wild, and it’s happening right now.

QB Future Looks Wild

This 2028 quarterback commit, a bonafide 4-star talent, means Notre Dame is already set at the most crucial position for a future that feels a million miles away. Talk about thinking ahead! But it’s not just about the far-off future. Current Notre Dame QB CJ Carr is ranked among the nation's elite by none other than Joel Klatt. That’s big time. Carr is even headed to an elite college camp with other star quarterbacks, showing he's ready to compete with the best. And for all you video game fanatics out there, get this: CJ Carr is a top-rated quarterback in EA Sports College Football 2027. Notre Dame themselves are rated highly in the game, so maybe art truly imitates life in this case!

The 2027 Class Is A Rollercoaster

Okay, so the 2028 QB is locked, but the 2027 class is where the current battle is truly heating up. Notre Dame is absolutely fighting to get to that top spot in the recruiting rankings. They secured a major recrui

ting win with a four-star defensive lineman commit, which is huge for shoring up the trenches. And they're really leaning into the legacy angle, too. A second legacy recruit committed on Monday, and they’re continuing their success with legacies as another 2027 receiver commits. They even offered a football legacy whose dad played for the legendary Lou Holtz. Multiple predictions are out there saying Notre Dame will land a 5-star 2027 player, which would be a massive boost. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. They faded late on a 5-star linebacker who ultimately chose Texas A&M, and Texas even swiped a top 2027 defensive line target right from under their noses. They still got top 2027 options at linebacker on their radar, so the fight continues!

Beyond The Field: Retirements and Rankings

It's not all recruiting news, either. On a tougher note, a two-way lineman medically retired after knee surgery, which is just gut-wrenching for any player. But on the brighter side, a former two-way Notre Dame star was added to an MLB roster, showing their athletic talent stretches beyond the gridiron. An alum even linked up with a former rival in the NFL, which is always cool to see. And a righty from Notre Dame grabbed an All-American honor. We also heard intel flying about whether they’d add another 5-star linebacker that day, and a 5-star defensive target is set to commit later this week. So, while we're out here at Lumen Field screaming for our Hawks, know that college football recruiting battles are raging. Notre Dame is putting in the work, securing future talent and battling for every star. Are they on the verge of making NFL Draft history in 2027? It's a high-stakes game, folks, and we'll be watching every twist and turn from the Emerald City!
