Top 2026 Florida quarterback has Notre Dame football in his top group

This would be a huge recruiting win for the Irish

With quarterback recruiting, it’s never too early to go after a top prospect and Notre Dame football is no different.

On Thursday, Florida 2026 quarterback [autotag]Noah Grubbs[/autotag] cut his list down to 10 schools, with the Irish making the cut. The 6-foot, 4-inch and 205-pound sign caller has an impressive offer list, as his top teams are among the best programs in the country.

At the current moment, Grubbs is not ranked, but that surely will change as soon as many of the recruiting services update the 2026 class. Regardless of ranking, the interest between the two parties is real and it is a realistic possibility that Notre Dame is in his recruitment until the end.

Currently, Notre Dame has just one commitment in the 2026 class, wide receiver Dylan Faison.

Ohio State football offers another 2026 quarterback

The Buckeyes have been active with offers out to quarterbacks over the last few days

The focus of a good portion of Ohio State football’s recruiting right now is at the quarterback position.

The Buckeyes are currently set with their 2025 class, as Tavien St. Clair, the in-state star is currently committed. So, the focus can be turned to the 2026 class, and this past weekend one of their top targets, Jared Curtis, made his commitment to Georgia.

Just two other quarterback aside from Curtis held a Buckeye offer, Brady Smigiel and Will Griffin, but that changed quickly over the past few days. Dia Bell and Jonas Williams just received good news, and on Monday, it was Florida’s [autotag]Noah Grubbs[/autotag] as the latest quarterback to get an offer.

At 6-foot, 4-inches and 205-pounds, Grubbs isn’t currently ranked by any major services, but his offer list is solid with multiple high-level Power-Five schools after him. What made the offer special was that he was on-campus when it happened.

The wave of quarterback offers signals a change of the recruiting board, and as we have seen before, typically Ohio State’s coaching staff gets this reshuffle correct.

Class of 2026 QB recruit calls Florida his ‘dream school’

Florida is joining the recruiting race for one of the top quarterbacks in the class of 2026 — four-star, in-state prospect Noah Grubbs.

Lake Mary High quarterback [autotag]Noah Grubbs[/autotag] was in Gainesville to visit the Florida Gators on Saturday, and the class of 2026 signal-caller left town with an offer in hand.

Although most schools are just starting to push with the class of 2025, elite quarterbacks operate on a different recruiting schedule. Grubbs is ranked No. 33 overall in the class of 2026 by Rivals, and 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong described him as “one of the more sought-after passers in the country.”

Wiltfong spoke with Grubbs after the visit and learned that UF has been on his list for some time.

“That was my childhood dream school,” Grubbs told Wiltfong. “I grew up a Gator fan so this is a big deal for me! I feel like Coach Napier really trusts his process for recruiting quarterbacks and I know they took some time before they offered but now I feel like I’m their guy!”

Florida isn’t the only SEC team in this race, though. Arkansas, Auburn, Ole Miss and Texas A&M have offered. The Gators will also have to beat out Michigan, which is coming off a national championship.

Grubbs also sat down with On3’s Keith Niebuhr to expand on the visit.

“My visit was a 10 out of 10,” he said. “It was strictly a business trip for my family and I. I’ve been up to Gainesville multiple times at camps … This was all about me wanting to know where I stood with them in my recruitment process. Because this is the one school I really wanted and Coach (Ryan) O’Hara and (Coach Billy) Napier let me know that answer fairly quickly today when Coach Napier offered me once I stepped into his office.”

Grubbs confirmed that he plans to return to Florida in the spring. He’ll be in town for the Orange and Blue Game and for a few summer camps.

Gators hosting trio of 2026 QB prospects for first junior day of 2024

Among the visitors expected to be in attendance this weekend is a trio of Sunshine State quarterbacks in the 2026 recruiting cycle.

Florida football is hosting its first junior day event of the 2024 calendar year on Saturday, Jan. 13, in Gainesville as Billy Napier and Co. look ahead to the coming one of the upcoming recruiting classes.

Among the visitors expected to be in attendance this weekend is a trio of Sunshine State quarterbacks in the 2026 recruiting cycle. None have earned a rating according to 247Sports but all are coveted passers in their class.

Firstly, there is Tampa Bay Tech’s [autotag]Logan Rogers[/autotag], a 6-foot-2-inch, 190-pound junior who is the only one of the three to currently hold a scholarship offer from the Gators. He has visited campus numerous times, including a trip back in August before the regular season began.

“It was great,” Rogers told Swamp247. “The coaches were great. Loved it. It was like a great, competitive atmosphere. Great bonding with everyone and a great event. It’s great getting into the recruiting process early. Just being in the facility and getting to know the coaches better.”

Next is Cocoa High’s [autotag]Brady Hart[/autotag], a 6-foot-4-inch, 185-pound signal caller from the opposite coast. He is the son of former Florida pitcher Alex Hart, who played for the Orange and Blue from 1999-2002 and was a fifth-round pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2002 MLB draft.

Finally, there is Lake Mary High’s [autotag]Noah Grubbs[/autotag], a 6-foot-4-inch, 205-pound prospect from right in between the other two who has stopped in Gainesville twice as a recruit. He put up a 10-2 record in 2023, tossing for 3,670 yards at a 58.7% clip plus 49 touchdowns versus 10 interceptions.

Napier’s staff also expects to get another in-state quarterback — Tampa Jesuit High’s Will Griffin in town for a junior day sometime this offseason. Griffin is a four-star recruit in the 2026 class and is ranked No. 62 overall and No. 5 at his position, according to the 247Sports composite.
