If there has one significant recruiting difference for [autotag]Notre Dame football[/autotag] in the [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] era, it’s at quarterback.
The Irish are starting to build a room that looks like one of the best in the country, and it all starts with recruiting. During Freeman’s first “cycle” they signed [autotag]Steve Angeli[/autotag], who is currently that backup to [autotag]Sam Hartman[/autotag]. Last year it was [autotag]Kenny Minchey[/autotag], a player who has already seen time on the field very early into his career.
The 2024 class has [autotag]CJ Carr[/autotag] committed while the 2025 class has [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag]. The focus is now on 2025 and the Irish offered Florida’s [autotag]Will Griffin[/autotag] on Wednesday.

— Will Griffin 4⭐️ 2026 QB (@w_griffin11) October 12, 2023
The 6-foot, 3-inch and 215-pound quarterback is ranked as the No. 5 player at his position and 62nd nationally by the 247Sports Composite Rankings. The competition for Griffin’s signature will be fierce, but Notre Dame has now entered the picture.
