The Notre Dame football team landed a commitment from one of the top recruits in the 2027 class.<\/p>\n

Per Hayes Fawcett of On3.com, 5-star offensive tackle Oluwasemilore Olubobola committed to the Fighting Irish over offers from Miami and Texas A&M. 247Sports’ composite<\/a> ranks Olubobola as the No. 3 offensive tackle in the nation and the No. 1 overall player in the state of New Jersey.<\/p>\n

A 6’6″, 295-pound prospect from St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City, Olubobola was one of the most sought-after recruits in the 2027 class. Per Kyle King of On3.com, he received offers from a whopping 38 Power Four programs before ultimately deciding to spend his college career in South Bend.<\/p>\n

“They have a strong culture and coaching staff,” Olubobola said of the Fighting Irish before he announced his decision\u00a0during a ceremony<\/a>\u00a0on Tuesday. “They check all the boxes for me. The head coach is a leader of men, the position coach is able to develop offensive linemen to be the best they can be and the strength program is legitimate.”<\/p>\n

247Sports director of scouting\u00a0Andrew Ivins<\/a>\u00a0described Olubobola as “a lean, mean and green offensive tackle with a monster ceiling given the combination of his length and twitch.” The youngster earned a selection to the annual Under Armour All-America Game as a junior. He’s also a two-sport athlete who competes in the shot put in Track & Field.<\/p>\n

Olubobola now headlines a 2027 Notre Dame recruiting class that features multiple players ranked in the top 10 at their respective positions.\u00a0247Sports<\/a>\u00a0ranks the Fighting Irish’s 2027 class fourth in the nation following Olubobola’s commitment on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Notre Dame football team landed a commitment from one of the top recruits in the 2027 class.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":638918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-638917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/638918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
