Best Guess on the Final 2026 Class (Bold already committed)

QB- Grubbs
RB- Osborne, Walker
WRs- Finley, Frazier, Faison
TEs- Jacobsen, Mueller
OT- McKeogh, Patrick
IOL- Garvin, Merrill, Nichols

Edge- Dunham, Ewetade
DL/SDE- Blade
DT- Hola, Golden
LBs- Davis Jr, Clapper
CBs- Adams, Smith
S- O'Brien, Reddish

Overall that is a Blue Chip Ratio of 83% which would match the '23 class which had Jagusah, Love, Gray, Bowen, Greathouse, Ausberry, Traore, Shuler,etc.

Angeli enters the portal. It will be CJ Carr from here.

Ironically, even with Angeli, the QB with the most experience on the roster is still Tyler Buchner. He actually has some value right now, especially if Minchey also transfers.

How does Buchner still have eligibility?! Didn’t even realize he was back on the ND team. Knew he transferred back for lacrosse

He's from the Class of '21 and I believe he didn't use any eligibility last year. It's crazy, he was the starting QB for the ND vs OSU game in 2022.

Transferred back after the Bama debacle to play lacrosse. Then rejoined the football team as a WR. I'm not suggesting the kid will ever play QB again but to Omar's point he does have experience. He was thrown into some awful positions in his career IMO thanks to the awful Tommy Rees.
