00:00Notre Dame 2026 wide receiver recruiting enters a very important month of June let's talk about

00:06the players on the board where things currently stand at everything you need to know wide receiver

00:10for 2026. Ryan Roberts from A to Z sports breaking down everything Notre Dame football

00:18folks wide receiver recruiting the 2026 class off to a solid start Bubba Frazier star athlete out of

00:24the state of Georgia more of a space dynamo and of course you have a commitment early from Dylan

00:29Faison who is the younger brother of Jordan a do-it-all athlete on the high school level out

00:34of the state of Florida who's also a dynamic lacrosse player so pretty solid early baseline at

00:39wide receiver but we know that there is a lot more on the table and Notre Dame really needs to finish

00:45strong under wide receiver coach Mike Brown I think most people would agree that he's a very good

00:50technical coach but how good of a recruiter is Mike Brown a lot of questions still remain in the month

00:56of June is going to be huge for the 2026 class for Mike Brown to be able to answer some of those

01:02questions let's start with the two players I consider the biggest must-get players for Notre

01:06Dame in the 2026 class of wide receiver one of course is Aledo Texas high school wide receiver

01:13Caden Finley six foot 200 pounds he is the son of former Texas Longhorn tight end all-american

01:20Jermichael Finley and Caden is one of the more productive pass catchers in the 2026 class or 1400

01:26yards and 21 touchdowns as a junior this is the number one target on the board for me and I believe

01:33Notre Dame sees it very similarly now him being a Texas legacy is playing into the Longhorns favor

01:41obviously Texas A&M is another school that is pretty high on his list but this is a Notre Dame versus

01:47Texas battle and it has now been that way for last couple of months Caden Finley is on campus this

01:53week check it out Notre Dame unofficially he also has an official visit to Notre Dame later this month

01:58as well Longhorns Notre Dame I have felt a little bit better of Notre Dame's chances a few weeks ago

02:05I'm starting now to shift I do think that Texas has a slight lead but I do think it's in a situation

02:10where if Notre Dame has a couple big visits in June they can flip the script here and end up with

02:16in the class so it's going to be a huge month of June for Caden Finley and Notre Dame's chances

02:21all the wide receiver to know Cohen Brown who is also out of the state of Texas 10 600 meter guy

02:26over a thousand yards as a junior been a fascinating journey obviously he was a USC commit for a decent

02:32for a few months there and then several weeks ago Notre Dame offered him and within two days he had

02:38decommitted from USC and had set up an official visit to Notre Dame now in the recruiting side of

02:43things we always look at the actions and those actions clearly indicate that there's a lot of

02:49love and a lot of admiration for the Notre Dame program also he is very good friends with JV on

02:55Osborne 2026 running back commit for Notre Dame as well so this is the guy that I think is most likely

03:00to end up in class for Notre Dame right now if things ended today and Texas is making a push for

03:05Cohen Brown he's going to be officially visiting this month also Ole Miss is going to get an official

03:09visit from Brown but I like Notre Dame's chances I think they are the team to beat as of today the

03:15third wide receiver that people don't talk about as much anymore is also out of the state of Texas

03:19Red Oak wide receiver Braden Robinson only 5'8 165 pounds but incredibly productive dynamic after the

03:26catch really good space player you can give him jets you can give him end arounds you can give him

03:31screen game like you can do a little bit of everything with Braden Robinson this has been a Notre Dame

03:36Miami battle now for for a good bit here Arizona's running third but I do think it's going to come

03:41down to the Hurricanes or the Irish right now I think Miami actually has a slight lead but similarly

03:47to Finley I do think Notre Dame could make it up depending if they push hard this month when they

03:53get him back for an official visit he's also scheduled to make his commitment in July outside of that

03:59there's two wild cards to know guys that will both be on campus this month one is Jaden

04:05Warren also out of the state of Texas 10 1 600 meters so he is incredibly fast and explosive

04:12he is sort of top 150 overall recruits by a couple platforms out there the major recruiting platforms

04:19for whatever reason took Notre Dame a long time to to offer him and they already got him to a visit

04:26this week now he has not scheduled an official visit we'll see how the visit goes this week and if

04:32they're able to get an official visit from Warren but he's the type of speed that Notre Dame needs I

04:36think that this might be a Gordon Sellers situation from a few weeks ago where there's some interest in

04:41Notre Dame but I think that Notre Dame may have just gotten a little bit too late to the table

04:45on this one last guy I want to mention is Ephraim White who is a former commit for Florida State

04:52six foot one 150 something pounds so he is a very light athlete can play wide receiver or corner on

04:58the college level he's gonna be visiting Notre Dame this month as well things are moving pretty fast

05:03with the Irish I'm interested to see if he's a player that Notre Dame ends up pushing for and if

05:07they're able to outlast them at the end folks put in the chat right now which wide receivers that I

05:11talked about are you most excited for who are can't miss players who do you want to see enter the
