It’s here.
Pot of Gold Day.
The day will begin with 24 2026 prospects holding an offer from Notre Dame and we expect that number to approach 100 when the last golden ticket is handed out on Sunday.
Under Marcus Freeman’s leadership, the Pot of Gold campaign has been successful over the last two years.
In the 2024 class, Guerby Lambert, Peter Jones, Jack Larsen and Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa were commitments who landed an offer from Pot of Gold Day. The Irish also landed two other prospects in Brandon Davis-Swain and Owen Wafle, who committed and then signed elsewhere.
Notre Dame offered over 60 prospects last year in the 2025 recruiting class and there returns are impressive at this point in the recruiting. Deuce Knight, Chris Burgess, Dom Hulak, Cree Thomas while Davion Dixon and Ko'o Kia were also highlighted as they were offered a month before the push. The Irish also offered decommitments CJ May and Nate Roberts last year during the Pot of Gold Day campaign.
Several other prospects have Notre Dame as a top school from last year including: James Simon, Jerome Bettis Jr., Talyn Taylor, Brett Clatterbaugh, Madden Faraimo, Christian Jones, Marco Jones and Jahmir Joseph.
We’ll have a running list of offers below with links to profiles, while we’ll have some nuggets and bios posted in the thread.
