Just a clarification
I've had a couple folks ask me about a Rivals national analyst reporting that 2025 Washington receiver commit Raiden Vines-Bright took an unofficial visit to Notre Dame this summer. I spoke to sources on the Notre Dame side and Vines-Bright's mother last night and no visit happened this summer. The only trip made to Notre Dame was back in the spring. As it relates to Notre Dame's pursuit of receivers, the staff is working quickly on a select few, but also taking their time in creating the board. High school football kicks off this month in most places, so in another 30 days, there will be 2 weeks of film out there. Under Armour Green Notre Dame Fighting Irish Classic Adjustable Hat
2025 WR Off the Board
2025 IMG Academy (Fla.) WR Raiden Vines-Bright has committed to Washington following an official visit over the weekend. Not a huge surprise as Jedd Fisch had put in a lot of work on Vines-Bright when he was the head coach at Arizona. Following his trip to Notre Dame last month, I'm not sure either side saw it working out for the Irish, which we communicated to ISD readers. Arizona and Washington were duking it out here for Vines-Bright over the last few weeks.

The Latest | 2025 WR Raiden Vines-Bright
2025 IMG Academy (Fla.) WR Raiden Vines-Bright got his first look at Notre Dame earlier this week and I've spoken to several folks tied into this recruitment. I believe he enjoyed his trip to Notre Dame , but I'm not sure Notre Dame is going to be a contender at this stage. That could change and quickly as RVB does have an official visit set to Notre Dame in June, but I believe the vibe right now is the West Coast schools still lead due to familiarity. He just made the transition from Arizona to Florida this semester for high school, so it'll be interesting how that develops moving forward. I have never gotten the sense distance was a factor for him or his family, but as with most kids, it's a bonus to be closer to family. Heading out of his visit, I think Notre Dame trails Arizona and Washington at the moment. We will see if Notre Dame dials up the heat on RVB moving forward or starts to turn it up on Talyn Taylor, Brandon Finney, or Tanook Hines. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16446128/65481a6f32e69e0490b535e0Notre Dame Fighting Irish x Guinness Toucan Long Sleeve Slub Hoodie T-Shirt
RVB and Brandon Finney are on campus
Can confirm 2025 receiver targets Raiden Vines-Bright and Brandon Finney are on campus for their visits to Notre Dame. Priority No. 1 is Derek Meadows, as Notre Dame needs a big boundary, and obviously, his rare athletic gifts make him coveted by many programs. That said, Notre Dame will need to add another piece with speed and RVB, Finney, Talyn Taylor, Tanook Hines and Ohio State commit Jayvan Boggs fit into that mold. Notre Dame would ideally need to land one of those guys to cap off the class with Meadows. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16446128/65481a6f32e69e0490b535e0https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16063716/655d08b84bb2390b90ab6e87Notre Dame Fighting Irish x Guinness Here Come the Irish Stadium Fleece Crewneck Pullover Sweatshirt
