Notre Dame’s 2027 Class Hits Setbacks

About this episode

Notre Dame's 2027 recruiting class faces challenges as key prospects cancel visits, but the team maintains strong commitments.

Notre Dame’s 2027 recruiting class took a hit as five-star DL Marcus Fakatou canceled his official visit, now eyeing only Ohio State, Georgia, and Texas—joining wideout Osani Gayles in pulling out. Fakatou, ranked 24 overall and a massive 6’6”, was seen as a key piece, but the Irish still have strong momentum with upcoming visit for five-star DL Abraham Sesay. Despite losing two top targets, Notre Dame remains solid on the DL with four commitments locked in. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
