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

Scout’s view: Notre Dame football’s newest commitment, athlete Dominik Hulak

The Irish will add an exceptional athlete in Hulak

Notre Dame football scored a big recruiting win on Friday when 2025 Illinois linebacker / defensive end / tight end [autotag]Dominik Hulak[/autotag] committed to the Fighting Irish.

The 6-foot, 3-inch and 225-pound athlete could land at a number of positions at the next level, a true Swiss Army knife at the high school level. Hulak is currently ranked as the No. 39 athlete and 440th overall recruit according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, but in my eyes, he is underrated at the moment.

Hulak’s junior regular season recently ended and after watching his highlight tape, it’s easy to see why the Irish staff liked him so much. Find out below what I saw after seeing him film and what to expect out of him when he dons the Blue and Gold.

Iowa Hawkeyes offer 2025 LB Dominik Hulak out of Immaculate Conception Catholic Prep

After a spring practice visit, the Iowa Hawkeyes extended an offer to 2025 linebacker Dominik Hulak of Immaculate Conception in Illinois.

The Iowa Hawkeyes extended an offer to 2025 linebacker Dominik Hulak after his visit for the open spring practice this past weekend.

Hulak is out of Immaculate Conception Catholic Prep in Elmhurst, Ill. The 6-foot-3, 225 pound linebacker registered 57 tackles last season per MaxPreps. He also finished with eight grabs for 133 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Iowa joins Illinois, Iowa State, Notre Dame, Purdue and Wisconsin on Hulak’s offers sheet.

247Sports ranks Hulak as a three-star talent, as the No. 26 athlete and as the No. 8 player from Illinois in the 2025 class. In the 247Sports composite rankings, Hulak checks in as the No. 328 player nationally, the No. 24 athlete and as the No. 9 player from Illinois.

Meanwhile, Rivals also rates Hulak as a three-star prospect. Rivals ranks Hulak as the No. 14 inside linebacker and as the No. 10 player from Illinois. On3 and ESPN don’t currently have Hulak rated.

Iowa is still looking for its first commitment in the 2025 class. In the 2025 class, the Hawkeyes have also recently offered tight end Thomas Meyer out of Clear Lake High School in Iowa, EDGE Chris Burgess out of Simeon High School in Chicago, and offensive lineman Nick Brooks out of Buford High School in Georgia.

Here’s a look at Hulak’s Hudl highlights. Plus, his full recruiting profile below.
