Gordy Sulfsted

2025 Notre Dame running back commits Daniel Anderson and Justin Thurman will be back in South Bend while 2025 tight end commit James Flanigan will also return to campus. I'm also expecting Joseph Reiff, Chris Burgess, Dom Hulak, Mark Zackery IV and Noah Grubbs to also be back at Notre Dame. There is also a chance Gordy Sulfsted and Ethan Long make an appearance, but I'm told Long's birthday is on Thursday, so it's still up in the air. 2026 Santa Margarita (Calif.) receiver Trent Mosley is also expected to make a return to campus, which is a big deal for both sides. Notre Dame offered early, so there's a relationship there, but it's also important for him to get to feel Mike Brown, Mike Denbrock and rest of the staff out in person.

He tells ISD that his plan is to be get back to Notre Dame on Thursday, which is significant if the Irish are going to hold off Ohio State. It's very clear Weatherspoon is a Notre Dame fit and he thoroughly enjoyed his visit last month. Weatherspoon has a verified 4.48 40 and a vertical of 33.3 inches.
