Notre Dame among five schools 2025 5-star wide receiver will choose from

Will he pick the Irish on Saturday?

The [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] 2024 class is almost complete, but that doesn’t mean the staff isn’t look ahead to the 2025 cycle.

One of the Irish’s top wide receiver targets is Florida’s [autotag]Jaime Ffrench Jr.[/autotag], who has set up a commitment date for this coming Saturday. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 180 pound receiver will also be considering Florida State, Penn State, Alabama and Ohio State.

Ffrench Jr., is ranked extremely high, checking in as the 4th receiver and 13th overall player according to the 247Sports composite.

It would be a pretty big surprise if Ffrench Jr. did select Notre Dame, as there is just one crystal ball selection logged, and it is for the Crimson Tide.

Regardless of where Ffrench Jr. ends up committing, each of his finalists and most likely other schools, will continue to recruit him until signing day.

2025 5-star WR Jaime Ffrench Jr. commits to Alabama

Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class just received a massive commitment. Five-star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench committed to the Tide on Saturday afternoon.

Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class is widely regarded as one of the best classes in the entire country. Well, it just got a lot better. 2025 five-star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench Jr. committed to Alabama on Saturday.

He became the second five-star wide receiver commit to the Crimson Tide in the 2025 recruiting class. The other is Saraland High School star, Ryan Williams.

Ffrench Jr. plays wide receiver for Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, Florida. As a sophomore, Ffrench Jr. had 44 receptions for 671 yards and five touchdowns.

Ffrench Jr. also plays basketball and competes on the school’s track and field team. In March of 2022, he ran an impressive 11.67 in the 100-meter dash.

His athleticism and playmaking ability are second to none. Alabama wide receiver coach Holmon Wiggins has been able to recruit well in Florida in the past. The trend continues as Ffrench Jr. becomes the fifth commitment in the 2025 recruiting class.

Roll Tide Wire breaks down Jaime Ffrench Jr.’s recruiting profile.

One of their top targets in the 2025 class is Florida wide receiver, [autotag]Jaime Ffrench Jr.[/autotag], a 6-foot, 2-inch, 180-pound prospect. He plans to select from a group of five schools: Florida State, Penn State, Alabama, Notre Dame and the Buckeyes.

Ffrench Jr. is one of the best players in the country, regardless of position. The 247Sports composite has him as the No. 4 receiver and 13th player nationally.

In the 2025 recruiting class, Ohio State has two commits; one is quarterback Tavien St. Clair.

Recruiting Roundup: 5 recruits that Alabama fans need to keep a close eye on in July

here are a handful of targets that are set to announce their commitment this month, here’s who you should know.

Alabama is expected to pick up some steam on the recruiting trail in July. A number of 2024 and 2025 prospects are set to announce their decisions with the Crimson Tide being at the forefront in their recruitment.

Thus far, Alabama has 10 commits in the 2024 recruiting class and three commits in the 2025 recruiting class.

The 2024 prospects cannot take official visits until the end of July, so there will be a window of about three weeks where recruits choose to commit. Some will close down their recruitment while others will continue to take visits to see what other programs have to offer.

Ultimately, I expect July to be one of the biggest months in Alabama recruiting history. There are a number of recruits that have set commitment dates while others could decide to commit at any time. I really like Alabama’s chances of closing out the summer on a good note.

Roll Tide Wire lists five recruits that Alabama fans should keep a close eye on in the month of July.

Notre Dame doubles up Florida offers today, this time a 2024 cornerback

The Irish are hitting the Sunshine State hard today

The Irish are hitting Florida hard today, as earlier they offered a scholarship to 2025 athlete [autotag]Jaime Ffrench Jr.[/autotag] That wasn’t the only Sunshine State prospect that got an offer from [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] and his staff today.

[autotag]Jon Mitchell[/autotag], a class of 2024 cornerback received an offer from Freeman and defensive backs coach [autotag]Chris O’Leary[/autotag]. The six-foot and 160-pound cornerback doesn’t quite have the offer list of Ffrench Jr. but a still solid, growing list that includes [autotag]Michigan[/autotag], [autotag]Michigan State[/autotag], [autotag]Penn State[/autotag] and a few others.

Football runs in the Mitchell family as his brother Nic plays for [autotag]Mississippi State[/autotag] and brother Kris plays for [autotag]Florida International[/autotag]. Safe to say the family is an athletic one and the youngest might end up being the best.

At the current moment, the Irish have a fantastic start to their 2024 recruiting class, with seven total commitments led by quarterback [autotag]CJ Carr[/autotag] and wide receiver [autotag]Cam Williams[/autotag].

Notre Dame Football offers 5-star 2025 Florida athlete

The Irish put their hat into the ring

The ink is still wet on the 2023 recruiting class and it’s almost a whole year away from the early signing period for the 2024 class but [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] isn’t resting on his laurels.

The [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] head coach and his staff have been going over prospects that they want and have identified 2025 Floridian [autotag]Jaime Ffrench Jr.[/autotag] as one they are trying to lure North and play in South Bend. Today, Freeman and wide receivers coach [autotag]Chansi Stuckey[/autotag] made a verbal offer to Ffrench Jr. joining the likes of [autotag]Alabama[/autotag], [autotag]Florida[/autotag], [autotag]Miami (FL)[/autotag], [autotag]Georgia[/autotag], [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag], [autotag]Penn State[/autotag] and a host of others trying to impress the rising junior.

Most likely Ffrench Jr. ends up as a wide receiver, but his six-foot-one-inch and 175-pound frame could see him landing as a defensive back as well. The next step would be for Ffrench Jr. to make a visit, as he has already been to [autotag]Florida State[/autotag], [autotag]Texas A&M[/autotag], [autotag]Pittsburgh[/autotag] (where his brother Maurice played) and a few others.

Time will tell if the Irish are true competitors for one of the best players in the country in his class, but offering early is a good sign that both parties are interested.
