Summary
Notre Dame’s football camp turned heads as just five elite defensive prospects walked away with offers from the Irish — including top 2028 linebackers and an edge rusher, plus a 2029 cornerback and linebacker. Standouts like four-star Florida linebacker Cale Britt and Georgia edge rusher Merrick Ham, already coveted by big programs, now join Notre Dame’s radar. Freshman Florida cornerback Amarian McRae and Indiana linebacker Austin Phillips — the only northern prospect to earn an offer — are also rising stars, with Phillips adding offense to his defense game. Texas linebacker Reagan Smith, already drawing Power Four interest, solidified his Notre Dame offer. With defense clearly the focus, these young talents are setting the stage for a future in South Bend. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
