Karson Hobbs

With the home opener on Saturday, Notre Dame will host several commits and prospects the program is evaluating. As of right now, expect Cam Williams, Styles Prescod, Karson Hobbs and Brauntae Johnson to make their way back to campus for the game. 2024 receiver commit Logan Saldate will get his first look at Notre Dame as he'll be taking his official visit this weekend. CJ Carr and Taebron Bennie-Powell could show up, but it's still up in the air at this point in the week. 2025 running back commit Justin Thurman is also planning to be on campus, but that will likely depend on the storms hitting Florida right now, so if he's not on campus, it's not much to read into. 2025 Snider (Ind.) athlete Brandon Logan will return to campus and he's added his first football offer as Iowa offered him earlier this month. The 6-foot, 170-pounder is currently committed to Vanderbilt for baseball and seems more than content in sticking with it. Another interesting prospect ISD expects on campus is 2025 Zionsville (Ind.) receiver Eugene Hilton. The 6-foot-1, 175-pounder has a solid offer list heading into his junior season and he's a name several schools are watching this fall.
