Where Notre Dame’s ‘27 class ranks after 4-star Roman Igwebuike verbal
· Yahoo Sports
Notre Dame football landed its top remaining 2027 linebacker target, Roman Igwebuike, on Saturday afternoon.
The nation’s No. 123 overall player in the 247Sports Composite Rankings is the No. 9 linebacker, meaning the Irish got one of the best players in the country. Igwebuike’s addition is significant, as it ends the bad luck recruiting at the position and continues the run of top verbals.

Four of the last six commitments are top-150 prospects, with one of them, Jackson Vaughn, reclassifying from 2028 to this class which saw his previous 5-star ranking drop. The elite run has continued to keep Notre Dame near the top of the class rankings, but they have recently been jumped.
Oregon has added multiple top prospects, switching spots with the Irish at No. 2 and No. 3 with Texas A&M sitting at the top in the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings. Notre Dame hasn’t done anything wrong to drop a spot, as both teams ahead of them have at least 2 more commits. It’s still another impressive collection of talent that will be heading to South Bend.
