Notre Dame football makes the top-6 for 4-star Florida wide receiver

recruiting news

There are more than a few areas where Notre Dame football had needed to step up in recruiting, when head coach Marcus Freeman took over.

One of the was at quarterback, but it seems like the Irish have fixed that area. Another was at wide receiver, which is still a work in progress. Notre Dame hasn’t quite gotten over the hump with the pass catchers, but that could be changing in the 2026 cycle.

Florida wide receiver Naeem Burroughs, a 5-foot, 11-inch and 160-pound prospect narrowed his list down to 6 teams, with the Irish making the cut. As the nation’s No. 59 overall player according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, he’s going to be a game-changer for whichever program ends up signing him.

Hopefully that program resides in South Bend, as they could use a shifty, speedy slot receiver. It seems like Burroughs already has an idea of when and what he is looking for, so don’t expect this recruitment to drag on much longer.

Bolles’ Naeem Burroughs (3) hauls in a reception for a touchdown score during the second quarter of a high school football matchup Thursday, May 23, 2024 at Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, Fla. Mandarin defeated Bolles 35-14.
