Had a great time at @NDFootball on Friday. After a great talk with @CoachJoeRudolph and @Marcus_Freeman1, I’m happy to share that I’ve received a full scholarship offer!@CelticsFootball @Tyler_Plantz @CoachNissen5 @EDGYTIM @DeepDishFB @mikeclarkpreps @michaelsobrien pic.twitter.com/6lZAH6xlY5— Benjamin Coleman (@BenjaminCo38637) April 13, 2026 2028 Illinois offensive lineman Ben Coleman picked up a Notre Dame offer following an unofficial visit to South Bend this past weekend.This is a big one for the 6-foot-4, 250-pounder.We're told this is true "dream offer" kind of stuff and is something he wanted for a long time. He plays for Tyler Plantz, who walked on to the Notre Dame football team when he was an undergrad before earning a scholarship, and is now the head coach at Providence Catholic. Coleman's only other offer to this point is Minnesota, but he goes to Michigan State tomorrow. It's early, but not too early to call Notre Dame the school to be. I've been doing this long enough to see kids get a dream offer and realize that choosing a college is much different than choosing your favorite team growing up. That being said, I've also been doing this long often to see kids who have a crystal clear idea of what they want and decide there's no reason to wait.
