Notre Dame football currently has twenty-six commits in the 2026 recruiting cycle, and while there isn’t much room left, there is for at least one more prospect.
Elijah Golden is a 6-foot, 4-inch and 275-pound defensive lineman from Florida who will make his commitment on Aug. 9th, deciding between Alabama, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech and the Irish. On3’s Steve Wiltfong really likes Notre Dame’s chances, as on Monday he put in a projection for Golden to commit to the Blue and Gold.
With a frame like his, Golden will most likely play on the interior of the line at the next level, but can also play on the edge if needed. Tiki Hola is the only other prospect that projects inside, so there is a clear need for Notre Dame to add another in this class.
The hope is that Wiltfong is correct, and Golden ultimately does select the Irish on Saturday.
