Michigan 2026 4-star tackle has Notre Dame football in his top-9

The Irish advance in the 4-star tackles recruitment

The class of 2026 is starting to take shape, and Notre Dame football is contending for multiple top targets.

One of those prospects is Michigan offensive tackle [autotag]Gregory Patrick[/autotag], who on Monday narrowed down his list to just nine schools with the Irish included. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 275-pound lineman also is still considering other programs like Penn State, Oklahoma, Michigan, Alabama and others.

Patrick is a coveted player, as he ranks as the nation’s No. 155 overall prospect and 13th ranked offensive tackle according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. The Irish offered him a scholarship in March, one of the many made during “Pot of Gold Day.”

Notre Dame will need to get him back to campus for them to be considered serious contenders, but there is plenty of time to do so. Patrick is surely high on the coaches staff recruiting board, so expect them to press him to make a visit during the season.

Wisconsin makes the final nine schools for one of 2026’s best offensive tackles

Wisconsin makes the final nine schools for one of 2026’s best offensive tackles

Wisconsin football is among the final nine schools in the recruitment of four-star class of 2026 offensive lineman Gregory Patrick.

The Badgers were listed along with Nebraska, Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Minnesota, Penn State and Oklahoma.

Patrick is currently ranked as 247Sports’ No. 155 player in the class of 2026, No. 13 offensive tackle and No. 2 recruit from his home state of Michigan. The 6’4.5,” 275-pound offensive tackle is one of the top tackles on the Badgers’ class of 2026 offer board.

Wisconsin is beginning to make significant progress in the 2026 cycle as work in the class of 2025 continues to slow. It recently landed a commitment from 2026 QB Jarin Mock, its first in the class. That commitment follows what has been a busy few weeks of offers in the class.

Wisconsin importantly enters the 2026 cycle with new faces in powerful positions throughout its recruiting department. Rising star Max Stienecker was recently promoted to general manager. That occurred right before the news that the Badgers had hired Brandon Rose as an assistant director of player personnel, promoted Izayah Green-May to assistant director of player personnel and promoted Jared Thompson to college scouting coordinator.

Head coach Luke Fickell and his staff are looking to build on two years of strong recruiting output. The program finished the 2024 cycle with the highest-rated class in program history, then followed it up with a strong showing in the class of 2025.

Potentially landing Patrick over some of the sport’s top contenders would be a substantial recruiting win.
