Notre Dame misses out on Tyler Alexander, who commits to Texas
Summary

Notre Dame's recruitment of four-star defensive lineman Tyler Alexander ended unsuccessfully as he committed to Texas on June 23, 2026. Alexander, a 6-foot-4, 305-pound athlete from Palm Beach, was Notre Dame’s top defensive target, ranked as the No. 49 defensive tackle nationally. After choosing the Longhorns over schools like Georgia and Colorado, Alexander's commitment presents a setback for Notre Dame as they work to bolster their 2027 recruiting class, which is currently ranked No. 3 overall.
