It was good news and bad news for Notre Dame football when 2027 quarterback commit Teddy Jarrard decided to reclassify to the 2026 class.
He’ll be on campus in June, but him moving classes left a gap in the Irish’s recruitment of a quarterback in his previous class. On Monday Notre Dame made its first move to fill the hole, as it offered Florida 4-star quarterback Wonderful Monds IV. He’s got a college-ready frame already at 6-foot, 2-inches and 224-pounds, and is ranked as the No. 254 overall prospect and No. 17 quarterback by the 247Sports Composite.
A dual-threat quarterback, Monds threw for 2,234-yards last season with 23 touchdowns and just 5 interceptions. He also ran for 502-yards and 9 more scores, showing he can get the job done with his arm or legs. It’s an offer out to a very good prospect, one that looks to fit more of the mold of Riley Leonard over CJ Carr. Head coach Marcus Freeman has shown that he can win with either, and adding Monds to the 2027 class would be a great addition.
WOW! Blessed and honored to receive an offer from the University of Notre Dame! #AGTG@GinoGuidugli@MikeDenbrockpic.twitter.com/EyaRUPNmKJ
