[ScriptOhio]

In the final 2026 Rivals ranking, Notre Dame ended with five five-star recruits in their top 32 players. That is the most among any team, meaning that the Irish signed more five-star players than any other program, outdoing the likes of Ohio State (4), Michigan (3), LSU (3), USC (2), Texas (2), Alabama (2), and Oregon (2).

2026 Freshman Class​

• Day doesn’t know if Ohio State will sign as many players in future recruiting classes after signing 28 freshmen this year.
• Day believes the players Ohio State signed are players who want to be at Ohio State, who want to graduate from Ohio State and who want to win the rivalry game and win championships at Ohio State. “I think if you talk to people in the program and in the building right now, they're very impressed with the makeup of these guys.”
