Notre Dame commit reaches impressive milestone as he heads towards a state title

The Irish got a great one

Notre Dame football landed a commitment from 2026 Florida quarterback [autotag]Noah Grubbs[/autotag] in June of this year, giving them a great start to the class.

The 6-foot, 4-inch and 190-pound signal caller is one of the country’s best, ranking as the No. 162 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Grubbs has been slinging the ball all over the field this fall, as he continues to lead his Lake Mary team towards a potential state championship.

Over the weekend he reached an impressive milestone, as he threw his No. 100 touchdown pass over the course of the last two and-a-half seasons. It quite the feat, considering the quality of play in the state.

Notre Dame found a great one in Grubbs, as he will enter the program next year with plenty of reps under his belt. Over the last few seasons, the Irish have dipped into the transfer portal for their starting quarterback, but they have amassed plenty of depth behind current starter Riley Leonard with Steve Angeli, CJ Carr and Kenny Minchey.

It remains to be seen what head coach Marcus Freeman will do to fill the shoes of Leonard for next fall, but that won’t matter much to Grubbs. Expect him to compete for a starting spot immediately, although it’s not a given he will come out as the starter in 2026.
