5-star 2026 Ohio cornerback names Notre Dame in his top group

Will another Ohioan be heading to South Bend?

While it is still extremely early in the 2026 recruiting cycle, Notre Dame football is off to a great start to its class.

Already in the fold are quarterback Noah Grubbs, who will be in South Bend this weekend, along with wide receiver Dylan Faison, brother of current starter Jordan. Head coach Marcus Freeman has identified his home state of Ohio as a state that the Irish need to recruit well.

So far so good with cornerback [autotag]Elbert Hill[/autotag], as on Friday he announced his top 10. Along with the Irish are the Tennessee Volunteers, Oregon Ducks, Michigan Wolverines, Texas A&M Aggies, USC Trojans, Alabama Crimson Tide, Penn State Nittany Lions, UCLA Bruins and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

It’s quite an impressive list that the 5-foot, 10-inch and 170-pounder has, and considering he’s ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the nation’s No. 18 overall player, its certainly justified. This will not be an easy recruiting battle for Notre Dame to win, but they are squarely in the mix at this moment.
