Recruiting Roundup With Eric Thomas: '27 Commits Shine, Kaden Henderson Buzz, QB Recruiting, and Top '28 Targets

yler Wojciak, host of Locked On Irish, is joined by Irish Illustrated recruiting analyst Eric Thomas to break down the latest developments surrounding Notre Dame football recruiting. They start with the 2027 class, including which commits are making noise this fall, which prospects could rise in the rankings, where things stand with five-star linebacker Kaden Henderson and whether the Irish could still add to the class. Then, Tyler and Eric dive into the unusual situation surrounding quarterback commit Champ Monds and what his lack of recent playing experience could mean for Notre Dame’s future QB plans. Finally, they turn their attention to 2028 recruiting, with the latest on Notre Dame’s quarterback targets, the biggest takeaways from the Rice visit weekend, which elite prospects are trending toward the Irish and how the staff’s approach to the 2028 cycle compares to its recent top-five classes. (0:00) - Intro(1:15) - Where Notre Dame’s 2027 Class Stands(12:55) - Champ Monds & Notre Dame’s QB Future(26:29) - Notre Dame’s Top 2028 Targets Follow Tyler on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TylerWojciakFollow Locked On Irish on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnIrishFollow Locked On Irish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonirishpod/?hl=enSubscribe to Locked on Irish on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC749D_LgykIE8WLu7W4UQlQ Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! KALSHIFor a limited time, Download Kalshi and use code Locked On to get $25 when you trade $25. Kalshi.
