Lake Mary 2026 QB Noah Grubbs: “Nothing” could put another school ahead of Notre Dame

Editor’s note: Lake Mary 2026 quarterback Noah Grubbs wrote the following first-person story for the USA Today Network to explain why he committed to Notre Dame.

The 6-foot-4 ½, 195-pound Grubbs is rated a four-star recruit and the No. 9 quarterback in the nation on On3’s Industry Rankings.

Grubbs rewrote Lake Mary’s record books in 2023 when he completed 208 of 354 passes (59% completion percentage) for 3,670 yards and 49 touchdowns and rushed for four touchdowns in 12 games. He now holds seven school records at Lake Mary. Grubbs had two 500-yard passing games in 2023, including a 528-yard, eight-touchdown performance against Dr. Phillips in the season opener. The eight touchdown passes also set a new school record.

Notre Dame just struck a special place in my heart.

I went to all these games last fall and spring practices of all the places I wanted to see. I visited Notre Dame second, and ever since I left there, it had that place in my heart.

When I left there I had that feeling that no other college made me feel. I asked myself, “What random thing is going to put another college above Notre Dame?”

I even spend two hours on the phone with my QB trainer, Baylin Trujillo, trying to convince him that I was ready to commit but he told me, “Don’t be emotional about a decision.” because I still had Michigan and Ohio State visits the next two days. I’m glad he told me that because I was able to really take a good look at those other two schools, which I have great relationships with, but it also clarified my decision.

What random thing was going to put another college above Notre Dame?

The answer is nothing.

I love the atmosphere there, the locker room, being around the facilities. You can just tell that this place is on the rise.

I love the tradition about Notre…
