ISD Intel | Behind The Scenes Of Notre Dame Recruiting

Notre Dame could have expanded its 2027 recruiting board months ago.

When defensive tackle Brayden Parks‍ committed to Notre Dame in July, it filled the Irish's defensive line board in a major way. It also left the Target List, at least the one we've been working off at ISD, essentially empty.

Toward the end of the summer, the Irish could have circled back to prospects they liked but didn't love and/or identified new targets based on senior film.
