Elite 2026 OL Felix Ojo Previews Notre Dame Stop

He may not have locked in an official visit with the Irish yet, but elite 2026 Texas offensive lineman Felix Ojo‍ hasn’t forgotten about them either.

In fact, Ojo will take an unofficial visit to Notre Dame on April 10th.

“Just to see the campus since I've never been up there, to talk to the coaches and just build a relationship with them,” the Lake Ridge High School star says. 

A few things about the Irish have already grabbed Ojo’s attention. 

“The offensive line development, the culture that they have there,” says Ojo. 

“That I'm a priority for Notre Dame.”

Ojo says most of his communication with Notre Dame has been directly with head coach Marcus Freeman. 

“He's a good coach, a relationship person,” says Ojo. “And not only that, I'd say he just knows how to run a team and an offense.”

The Irish Dame did make Ojo’s initial Top 8 and have a chance to continue climbing up his list.

The 6-foot-7, 283-pounder has officials locked in to Ole Miss, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas and Oklahoma. If things go well on his unofficial visit to South Bend, the Irish could be added.

“Just really meet my expectations or go above my expectations of what I really think of Notre Dame,” Ojo says of what it will take for Notre Dame to land on that list.

“Not only that, for them to just show hospitality for not only to me, but to my family too.”

Immediately after Notre Dame, Ojo will make trips to Ohio State and Florida. 

As for a final decision, Ojo has an idea, but nothing definitive.

“I don't have a set in-stone-date right now,” he says. “Probably before the season.”

He does know what he’s looking for in a school. 

“Number one, education. Number two, just relationships with coaching staff, what coaches I really mess with. And number three, just the developmental factor, what coaches can develop me to put me in the position to be a first-round pick and go to The League.”
