Marcus Freeman and his staff have kept the Notre Dame Fighting Irish among the most coveted destinations for high school recruits. They have had a top-15 cycle every year from 2022 to 2026, according to Rivals
It’s a trend the Fighting Irish are looking to continue, turning some of their attention toward the 2028 recruiting class. They haven’t landed a commitment yet, but are showing interest in some of the cycle’s top players.
That includes quarterback Trey Tagliaferri out of Colts Neck, New Jersey. He is a four-star recruit, the No. 13 quarterback and the No. 215 player in the nation, per Rivals Industry Rankings.
On June 3, the signal caller announced he received a scholarship offer from Notre Dame. This comes just over a month after an unofficial visit to South Bend on April 25. After receiving his offer, Tagliaferri spoke to Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong, revealing where the Fighting Irish sit early on in the process.
“Notre Dame is a great program with a great history of players and coaches,” Tagliaferri said. “The coaching staff is amazing and has developed so many great players. ND definitely stands high on my list. Coach Gino (Guidugli) and Freeman are two great coaches and would be honored to play under them.”
The quarterback caught the attention of several top programs after an impressive sophomore season at Bergen Catholic High School. He threw for 2,215 yards, 29 touchdowns, three interceptions, and a 131.2 quarterback rating.
While the Fighting Irish have become a competitor for his commitment, they aren’t the only ones. In April alone, Tagliaferri also visited the Illinois Fighting Illini (April 3), Ole Miss Rebels (April 10), Alabama Crimson Tide (April 16) and Penn State Nittany Lions (April 18).
With two more years at the high school level, the signal caller has plenty of time to narrow down his options and even explore some new ones. Notre Dame is firmly in the mix as a program to watch, though.
