When elite Class of 2027 quarterback Teddy Jarrard pledged to Notre Dame on Thursday, many college football observers took notice.
And that includes Fighting Irish wide receiver target Antayvious Ellis, a fellow member of the 2027 class.

Irish head coach Marcus Freeman and his staff have been able to put together a monster 2026 haul, so it is no surprise that the momentum has kept rolling as they start to assemble their 2027 class. The addition of Jarrard, a four-star North Cobb (Kennesaw, GA) prospect, was massive, as he chose the Irish over Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan and Penn State.
Could Ellis, a Crowley product (Crowley, TX), be next? ND has very good recent history with Lone Star State wideouts, including Jaden Greathouse, who is poised for a breakout 2025 campaign. And the 2026 class includes Kaydon Finley and Brayden Robinson.
Ellis is a four-star prospect and the No. 40 player in the state of Texas, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He has offers from several major powers besides Notre Dame, including Texas, Oregon and USC, among several others. The 6-foot, 175-pounder had 55 receptions for 794 yards and 11 touchdowns as a sophomore last season.
