Meet Notre Dame’s Top Ranked 2025 Recruiting Class

What must the Irish still add to make this class great?

It’s early in the 2025 recruiting cycle still but recruiting for Notre Dame tends to play out a lot like a quote from New York Yankees legend Yogi Berra:

“It’s getting late early out there.”

When it comes to football recruiting Notre Dame is a team that tends to start hot and then usually have to hold on to secure a high ranking.  They’re rarely if ever a program that soars up the rankings late in the process.

That’s why it’s so important that Notre Dame gets off to hot starts in recruiting and that is something they’ve certainly done to date with the 2025 recruiting class.

Notre Dame now has 16 commitments in the class which gives them the top ranking according to both 247Sports and Rivals.

Below are the currently committed 16 members of Notre Dame’s 2025 recruiting class and a little about each player.

Please note: Prospects are listed according to their public commitment dates

Notre Dame 2025 commit will be back on campus later this month

Grill & Chill time!

[autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] is off to a solid start for their 2025 recruiting class, one of their commitments being defensive tackle [autotag]Davion Dixon[/autotag].

The massive lineman stands 6-foot, 2-inch and weighs 305 pounds, who was the first verbal of the class, making his decision in April. Commitments made that early are always a bit worrisome due to the long time until the prospect is able to sign.

Case in point was 2024 commitment [autotag]Brandon Davis-Swain[/autotag]. The first player to join the Irish class ultimately decided against it and moved on.

That might not be the case with Dixon, as he tweeted out that he will be back in South Bend at the end of the month for Irish Grill & Chill, a recruiting event.

It’s great news to see that Dixon is all in with the Irish going forward.

Jerome Bettis, Jr. headed back to Notre Dame

Come on through!

The son of one of the best and most famous players to wear blue and gold at Notre Dame is going to visit the campus again soon. Jerome Bettis, Jr., who is entering his junior year at Woodward Academy in Georgia, will be at Notre Dame’s cookout day on July 30 according to Irish Breakdown.

“I’ve said it before but the main thing I love about Notre Dame is their emphasis on recruiting me,” Bettis Jr. told Irish Breakdown in the past. “They recognize that I still have other schools pursuing me, and that they still need to recruit me the same way they would anyone else. Them letting me know that they want me for me is something that really stood out to me.”

Bettis is a different player than his old man. The younger Bettis is a wide receiver and stands 6 feet, 2 inches. He holds offers from Notre Dame, Boston College, Arkansas, UConn and UMass and has taken visits to other programs as well.

Notre Dame has two commitments in the 2025 recruiting class: tight end [autotag]Nate Roberts[/autotag] and defensive lineman [autotag]Davion Dixon[/autotag].

Notre Dame offers 2025 Connecticut offensive lineman

Greenwich time for the Irish?

Notre Dame has officially offered a 2025 recruiting class offensive lineman.  As the Marcus Freeman and the Irish are in the middle of their “Irish Invasion” recruiting period, offers are going out.

Saturday saw 6-7, 265-pound Matty Augustine announce a scholarship offer.  Augustine hails from Greenwich (Conn.) Brunswick School where he’ll be entering his junior year this fall.

On3 ranks Augustine as the No. 219 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class nationally.  He’s already announced offers from Penn State, Wisconsin, Texas A&M, North Carolina, Nebraska, and several others.

Four-star defensive lineman [autotag]Davion Dixon[/autotag] of Miami is Notre Dame’s only current commitment in the 2025 class.

Notre Dame football’s last Oklahoma recruit

OK…L-A-H-O-M-A.

With tight end [autotag]Nate Roberts[/autotag] of Oklahoma making his commitment to Notre Dame known Saturday the 2025 recruiting class doubled in size for the Irish.  Roberts joins defensive lineman [autotag]Davion Dixon[/autotag] of Florida in the now two-member class.

Roberts is also just the second Notre Dame commitment to call the state of Oklahoma home since at least 2000.  The only other with that distinction is former offensive lineman Matt Romine who played with the Irish from 2007-2010.

Romine played in 24 games during his time at Notre Dame, starting three of them in 2010.  This came after playing his high school football at Tulsa Union High School where he helped lead the team to a state championship as a junior.

Romine graduated from Notre Dame in 2011 and transferred to Tulsa to compete in his final year of NCAA eligibility in the 2011 season.

Notre Dame gets their first 2025 commit as Florida defensive lineman verbals

The Irish have their first 2025 verbal

[autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] got the weekend festivities started with a bang. Already with a very fast start in the 2024 cycle, head coach [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] is getting another quick start in the 2025 class.

It started as Florida defensive lineman [autotag]Davion Dixon[/autotag] made his verbal commitment to the Irish on Friday during a visit to South Bend for the Blue and Gold game.

Dixon is a solid recruiting win for the Irish as he’s a load in the middle of a defense. He’s 6-foot, 2-inches and 305 pounds, a frame that looks college ready with two seasons of high school football remaining.

The big man is rated as the 30th defensive lineman and 302nd overall prospect according to the 247Sports composite.
