There isn’t much room left in Notre Dame football’s 2026 recruiting class, with twenty-six commitments, they can start to look ahead to the 2027 cycle.
They already have two commits, just one being a position player, but the Irish have sent out plenty of offers to some of the best prospects in the country. One of them was offered on Saturday evening in Mississippi edge rusher Derwin Fields. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 220-pounder is ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the nation’s No. 45 overall prospect, just outside the 5-star range.

Notre Dame now joins teams like Alabama, Florida, LSU, Florida State and others in offering Fields, who should end up being able to play virtually anywhere he’d like. It does look like its going to be tough to pull him away from SEC-country, but the Irish have put their hat in the ring.
If Fields is able to make it up to South Bend during the season, it would be a great sign for Notre Dame to continue to be in the mix for his commitment. Time will tell if that happens, but for now, the Irish are clearly interested in him joining their 2027 class.
