The Notre Dame Fighting Irish continue to make waves in recruiting, particularly in their search for elite talent at wide receiver. As the Irish aim to bolster their speed and skill at key positions, a new group of targets emerged in late August, with Texas being a focal point.
Jace Brown, Antavious Richardson, and Jalen Cooper stand out among the three top prospects. While rated as a three-star prospect, Jace Brown fills a critical need at boundary receiver for the Irish. His skill set aligns well with Notre Dame’s system, and despite his ranking, Brown has the potential to be a key contributor.
On the other hand, Antavious Richardson, another Texas-based target, offers intriguing versatility. Currently playing quarterback out of necessity for his team, Richardson’s athleticism and upside make him one of the most exciting prospects on Notre Dame’s radar. His ability to transition into a wide receiver role could unlock immense potential at the college level.
Jalen Cooper, a current SMU commit, rounds out this talented trio. While 247Sports ranks Cooper as a three-star player, he holds a four-star rating in the Composite rankings. Cooper, ranked No. 257 overall, No. 33 among wide receivers, and No. 35 in Texas, is a highly regarded prospect. His recruitment by Notre Dame signals the program’s intent to land top-tier talent, even from programs like SMU.
With Notre Dame’s continued focus on building an elite receiving corps, these Texas targets could play pivotal roles in the future success of the Fighting Irish.
