## Resource

Notre Dame just pulled off a recruiting coup with five-star offensive guard Albert Simien from Louisiana, a rare feat given that top Louisiana talent almost always stays in-state or heads to the SEC. Under head coach Marcus Freeman, the Irish are rewriting the script, aggressively chasing elite talent regardless of location or tradition. Simien’s commitment—especially with the historical trend of Louisiana recruits favoring LSU or other SEC schools—signals a new era of national ambition. Now with seven five-star offensive linemen in just six cycles, Notre Dame is building a dominant front line, proving their recruiting machine is firing on all cylinders.
