Notre Dame football gets a commitment from 4-star 2026 offensive lineman

Football committed

Christmas came a bit early for the Notre Dame football program, as they added yet another offensive lineman to its 2026 recruiting class.

While extremely early, the Irish got a commitment from Michigan interior offensive lineman Sullivan Garvin at the beginning of this month, and their recruiting invasion of the Mitten State continued on Tuesday.

Ben Nichols committed to Notre Dame over his other three finalist of Wisconsin, Penn State and Tennessee. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 315-pounder will most likely play right tackle for the Irish. Nichols is rated as the No. 227 overall prospect and No. 3 player in the state according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Offensive lineman coach Joe Rudolph, and his predecessors, have done a great job of identifying talent along the line even when their recruiting rankings wouldn’t suggest as much. If Nichols is a take for the Irish, he’s most likely a very good player who will help Notre Dame in the coming seasons.
