The new recruiting calendar has brought along players opting to commit earlier in the process and help recruit for their team, and Notre Dame could see that in the 2028 cycle.

The Irish have two current commits, but an elite quarterback could be a game-changer in the pursuit of another top class. Enter Florida’s Neimann Lawrence, a 6-foot, 1-inch and 202-pound passing surgeon. Last season he completed 70.8% of his passes for 1,971-yards with 32 touchdowns and a single interception.

Stats like those get you noticed, as 247Sports has Lawrence ranked as the No. 53 player in his class. He’ll be participating at The Opening Finals, a top high school camp that ends with a 7-on-7 tournament. To start off the festivities Lawrence will make his commitment and choose between the Irish, Michigan, Miami, Texas and Texas A&M.

At this point, Notre Dame might be chasing the Longhorns, who do have a projection by On3’s Steve Wiltfong to land the talented quarterback. However, we’ve seen plenty of those being wrong, as the Irish staff hopes that they’ve made enough of a connection for the 4-star to commit to them.
