On Saturday, Notre Dame football scored another big recruiting win, as they got a verbal commitment from 2026 Florida defensive lineman Elijah Golden.
The Irish now have twenty-seven commits in the cycle, a collection of talent that is considered the No. 3 overall group nationally by the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings. This has been head coach Marcus Freeman’s best class since he took over the program, and it could be sign of things to come.
Any time Notre Dame lands a commitment, social media has been a great place to see the excitement in Irish Nation. Check out below the best comments after Golden made his verbal pledge to the Irish.
Golden was meant to be
It almost seemed like fate that a prospect with the last name of Golden was considering Notre Dame, and ultimately picked the Irish. It doesn’t always work out this way, but it did in this situation. Golden is a terrific prospect that has tons of potential.
Golden played the hat game
If you didn’t see Golden’s announcement, he initially picked up an Oklahoma hat, before discarding it and announcing for Notre Dame. It’s always frustrating to be on the Sooners end of a commitment, but their loss is clearly the Irish’s gain.
Party in South Bend
Auman has done a great job in his first recruiting cycle as Notre Dame’s Director of Recruiting, and he deserves plenty of credit for this class. He made the right choices in which prospects to go after, and did very well with closing on those who took official visits. Auman should be celebrating.
The motto
After every commit, the former Notre Dame star goes to social media and posts this statement. Tagovailoa-Amosa understands the Irish way, and he’s proof that life after football can be done in South Bend. Like Auman, he should be very happy with the results of his efforts in recruiting Golden.
Making history
The closing percentage for June visitors has been elite, pretty much says that if you made a visit to South Bend during the month, most likely you were becoming a member of the Irish recruiting class. Golden was the last of the group to make his decision, and it was worth the wait.
An elite group of defensive lineman for the Irish
Golden now joins Ebenezer Ewetade, Tiki Hola and Rodney Dunham to make up one of the top defensive line classes nationally. There’s talent all over, and these four could all have significant impacts in their Irish careers. They’ll be disrupting opposing offenses for the new few years.
