Notre Dame's linebacker recruiting for the 2027 class has become unsettled. Initially, the Irish secured commitments from two 4-star linebackers, Ellis McGaskin and Amarri Irvin. McGaskin has since decommitted and pledged to the Florida Gators. Irvin, while still committed, recently visited Michigan State and has been linked to other programs, raising questions about his future with Notre Dame. Despite the turmoil at this position, the coaching staff reportedly remains confident in securing additional linebackers as needed, with notable interest in Kaden Henderson, who is predicted to commit to Miami. Notre Dame has several returning linebackers on the roster for 2027.
