Episode Details

Notre Dame just pulled off a massive recruiting coup by landing Albert Simien, a five-star interior offensive lineman ranked number ten overall in the Rivals 300 — and arguably the best at his position in the country. Choosing the Irish over LSU and Texas A&M, Simien joins wide receiver Julius Jones Jr. and defensive lineman Segun Alexander in a whirlwind three-commitment week, pushing Notre Dame’s 2027 class to 21 players. With six of their linemen ranked in the top 100 by 247Sports and now two five-star offensive tackles — including Olu Olubobola — the Irish are building a dominant front seven and offensive line. This isn’t just a one-hit wonder; it’s part of a six-cycle streak of landing elite OL talent. Marcus Freeman’s “build from the trenches” philosophy is paying off loud and clear.
