Irish on the Hunt: QB Carousel Spins Into 2027
Notre Dame’s once predictable path to securing a 2027 quarterback has twisted into a free-for-all. The Irish snagged Teddy Jarrard early for 2027, only for him to reclassify and join the 2026 class alongside freshman Noah Grubbs. That left Notre Dame scrambling again for a long-term solution. Of five offered QBs, three have pledged elsewhere—LSU, Florida and Michigan—leaving only Wonderful Monds IV still on the table. Monds, who also reclassified from the 2028 cycle, impressed during a recent campus visit, earning a crystal ball prediction in Notre Dame’s favor. With Monds weighing his options, the Irish hope they’ve finally found the quarterback to reboot their program.
In a plot twist worthy of a daytime soap, Notre Dame’s quarterback romance turned into a series of “it’s not you, it’s me” breakups. First Jarrard ghosts the 2027 cycle faster than a bad Tinder date, then three suitors bolt to other schools as if they found better Wi-Fi. Now, only Wonderful Monds stands in the chapel, bouquet in hand, waiting to see if the Irish will say “I do.” One can only imagine Brian Kelly drafting wedding vows instead of playbooks: “I promise to cherish your arm strength, to honor your decision lawsuits, and to never reclassify you out of our lives.” Game on, lovebirds.
