Notre Dame football is coming off a very successful month of recruiting in April, and they are looking like there is nothing that is going to stop them in May.
To start off the Irish’s weekend the right way, they received a commitment from 2026 Ohio linebacker Jakobe Clapper. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 215-pound prospect is ranked as the No. 398 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Clapper picked Notre Dame over teams like Oregon, Michigan, Louisville and Ohio State. This shouldn’t go unnoticed, as the Irish battled multiple regional powers in his recruitment and ultimately won out.
The 2026 class is now up to 13 total commits, and is ranked as the No. 2 overall class in the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings. Head coach Marcus Freeman has used this past seasons momentum on the recruiting trail, and it is paying off big dividends, with Clapper as the most recent success story.
