COMMITMENT | Logan Tribble Living Out Dream With Notre Dame Commitment
It didn’t take long for Notre Dame to add a key piece to its 2027 roster.
Wofford graduate transfer Logan Tribble has committed to the Fighting Irish, giving head coach Shawn Stiffler an experienced outfielder who addresses multiple needs heading into next season.
The recruitment moved quickly, but for Tribble, the decision was easy.
“I was born in Goshen and I’ve always been a big Notre Dame football fan,” Tribble told ISD. “When I entered the portal, I just reached out and Coach (Ryan) Munger got on the phone and made it happen.”
Munger has played a significant role in Notre Dame’s offensive resurgence while helping the Irish continue to recruit at a high level.
Tribble immediately connected with Munger, which led to a visit to South Bend shortly after entering the transfer portal on June 1st.
“He’s a great communicator,” said Tribble. “He’s super personable and I obviously already had a strong connection with Notre Dame, so it wasn’t hard to establish a connection with him.”
The visit also gave Tribble a chance to experience a place he had dreamed about for years from a different perspective.
“It’s like a dream come true for me,” explained Tribble. “I could have never imagined that four years ago coming out of high school, going to a small school in Wofford and then to get the chance to do my grad year at Notre Dame. It’s amazing.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder projects as an immediate contributor and helps Notre Dame replace some of the production lost with the departures of Bino Watters and the bat of Dylan Passo.
As a senior in 2026, Tribble appeared in 56 games, making 55 starts, and hit .372 with 16 doubles, one home run, 46 RBI and 14 stolen bases. He also proved capable of producing against SEC competition, going 2-for-6 with a run scored in two games against South Carolina.
Tribble finished the 2026 season with a .451 on-base percentage, which ranked second in the Southern Conference, and recorded 21 multi-hit games, showcasing the consistency Notre Dame needed.
The 2026 season could be a glimpse into what Tribble can do in South Vend as he battled through an injury earlier in his career.
“My first two years at Wofford, I dealt with a lower back injury,” Tribble said. “I took my junior year to get back into the swing of things and then I was able to finally feel like a complete player my senior year.”
Beyond the numbers, Tribble arrives in South Bend with a winning pedigree.
In 2024, Tribble helped Wofford secure the program’s first NCAA Tournament victory, winning a game in the Chapel Hill Regional. His success stretches back even further to his prep days at Out-of-Door Academy, where he helped lead the program to a 2021 state championship. Tribble lost just six games over his final three high school seasons and was named Florida 2A State Player of the Year.
“My high school and Wofford played a similar style of baseball,” stated Tribble. “It’s small ball. You’re going to bunt. You’re going to run. You don’t always have to manufacture runs through the home run.
“That’s been my upbringing and how I’ve always won. I’m looking to see if I can now bring that to Notre Dame.”
Tribble will spend his final collegiate season pursuing a master’s degree in accounting while helping the Irish push to return to the NCAA Tournament.
“Notre Dame was always a place I had dreamed of and it didn’t matter what was going on up there,” said Tribble. “It’s just somewhere I’ve always wanted to be. I would have done anything to go there.”
