Grayson McKeogh, a 4-star 2026 offensive tackle, commits to Notre Dame football
This past weekend's official visitors for Notre Dame look like it was a big success, and on Wednesday marked the first commitment following the action.
Pennsylvania offensive tackle Grayson McKeogh committed to the Irish over the Texas Longhorns and the Penn State Nittany Lions. The 6-foot, 8-inch and 285-pound star lineman is ranked as the nation's No. 262 overall prospect and the No. 20 offensive tackle in the nation by the 247Sports Composite.
McKeogh now gives Notre Dame five commitments along the offensive line, one that could make up the core of that position for years to come. The newest addition could end up being the best, as he's a true left tackle with a frame that resembles another former Irish star in Joe Alt.
While McKeogh might not have the immediate impact that Alt did for Notre Dame, he has the potential to end up going the same route, as a multi-year starter and an early NFL draft pick. This is another huge recruiting win for the Irish.

Texas Longhorns Gets Major Update on 5-Star Freshman and Two-Sport Star Jonah Williams
Texas Longhorns Gets Major Update on 5-Star Freshman and Two-Sport Star Jonah Williams originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns put together a strong 2025 recruiting class. Advertisement According to 247Sports, they have the No. 1-ranked recruiting class in the nation, ahead of SEC rivals Georgia and Alabama. The player leading the way in their class is safety Jonah Williams. Williams is the No. 6-ranked player in the nation, and as a result, is expected to have an immediate impact on the Longhorns next season. On Wednesday, Longhorns fans got an update on how he has been looking with the team. Sources told reporter Anwar Richardson that he has been described as "Fantastic, special, and super smart."

Martinez/American-Statesman/USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Jonah Williams is one of four five-star recruits signed by the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 recruiting class. He leads the way as the highest-ranked player but is joined by No. 13-ranked defensive lineman Justus Terry, No. 21-ranked wide receiver Kaliq Lockett and No. 23-ranked cornerback Kade Phillips. Advertisement Williams is an interesting recruit because he joined not just the football team but the baseball team at Texas as well. He enrolled early in 2025 so that he could join the baseball team as a left fielder for the team. This does not seem to bother head coach Steve Sarkisian as he spoke proudly about Williams' baseball career in April. "The guy is out there looking like Juan Soto right now," Sarkisian said. "He's playing on some big-time series right now, he's got a great opportunity, and he's maximizing." The Texas Longhorns will start their season on August 30 against the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes.
