Episode Details

Notre Dame just pulled off a massive recruiting coup with five-star offensive lineman Albert Simien, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound powerhouse who chose South Bend over LSU and Texas A&M. His official visit in June sealed the deal, as head coach Marcus Freeman and staff sold him on academics, football development, and the program’s culture. Simien’s commitment elevates Notre Dame’s 2027 class, making him the fifth offensive lineman and third five-star pledge — boosting their national ranking and positioning them as a serious contender for the top spot. As the first Louisiana commitment in this cycle and potentially the highest-ranked offensive lineman signed under Freeman, Simien signals Notre Dame’s serious push to compete at the highest level.
