Notre Dame Keeping 2026 WR Brayden Robinson A Priority
Notre Dame’s search for additional receivers in the Class of 2026 is heavily focused on the state of Texas right now and this past Thursday, Irish receivers coach Mike Brown made the trip down to check in on 2026 Texas receiver Brayden Robinson.
“We were just catching up, just talking about life,” Robinson said of himself and Brown. “A little bit of ball, but just making sure everything is good personally.”
Robinson has been a high priority for the Irish for months and even with two commits in the fold at the position for the Irish now with Dylan Faison and Bubba Frazier, Notre Dame continues to make it known how valued Robinson is.
“It feels great,” said Robinson. “It feels like I'm still a priority for them, so it was good talking to him.”
The message from the Irish to the 5-foot-8, 165-pound speedster has been a consistent one.
“That they need speed and they feel like with my versatility, I can bring a lot to the table,” Robinson said of what he’s heard from Brown.
“He sees me as a true receiver despite me being a shorter guy and stuff like that.”
Robinson said he “most definitely” sees what Notre Dame is talking about regarding his on-field fit.
“I've seen how they used Tre Tucker when they were in Cincinnati,” he said, referring to the current Las Vegas Raiders receiver who was coached by Brown and Irish offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock in college.
“That's somebody with a similar playing style as me in the same offense with Coach Denbrock. He thrived there, so I don't see why I couldn't.”
Robinson, who has made two trips to South Bend this year, was at Miami for a recent unofficial visit.
“It was great,” he said. “Obviously you're in a great city, but the people definitely made it more memorable. It definitely exceeded my expectations going into the visit.”
The Hurricanes definitely opened his eyes and joined the Irish at the top of his board.
“I feel like Miami and Notre Dame are 1A and 1B right now,” he said.
Robinson will announce his college decision on his mother’s birthday, July 20th.
But before doing so, he’ll take official visits to Notre Dame, Miami, Arizona and Ohio State.
He’s looking to get a feel for more than football on his next trip to South Bend.
“There's really nothing to see from the football aspect. I want to make sure I get the right feel for everything. That's what it's going to come down to; just seeing how I vibe around the coaching staff and the players.”
