Notre Dame looks at linebacker recruits after Kaden Henderson miss
Summary

Notre Dame football is seeking linebacker prospects for the 2027 class after missing on top target Kaden Henderson on June 18. Previously, the Irish had two commitments at the position, but Amarri Irvin and Ellis McGaskin have since flipped to other schools. Currently, the recruiting is challenging, with many top prospects already committed. Potential candidates include 4-star LB Roman Igwebuike, who recently visited South Bend, and Sean Fox, an in-state prospect who may still be open to the Irish if they can make a connection. Notre Dame's linebacker depth may also be supplemented through the transfer portal as they anticipate losses after the upcoming season.
