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 lands a commitment from 2025 Hawaiian linebacker

The Irish add to the nations top 2025 recruiting class

Notre Dame football continues to make recruiting look easy, as they added yet another commitment to its 2025 class on Monday evening.

Hawaii’s [autotag]Ko’o Kia[/autotag], a 6-foot, 3-inch and 210-pound linebacker made his pledge to the Irish, added another talented player to a growing group. He’s ranked as the No. 54 player at his position and 559th overall recruit according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Kia is the fourteenth commit of the 2025 cycle, but the first linebacker of the group. He selected the Irish over offers from Oregon, Texas, USC and a host of other schools. After making a visit this weekend, Kia didn’t take long to pull the trigger.

Ko’o’s brother, Kahanu is currently a linebacker with the Irish after taking two years off for a mission, making it a family affair for the Kia’s.
