Notre Dame receives a prediction for ‘26 DL Elijah Golden, who will commit in late July
Notre Dame football's 2026 class has grown exponentially over the last two weeks, but they will have to wait until the end of July for another one of its top targets to make his decision.
Elijah Golden, a 6-foot, 4-inch and 275-pound Floridian, will make his commitment on July 26th as reported by On3's Kyle Kelly, as he will decided from Alabama, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech and the Irish. The good news for Notre Dame is that On3's Mike Singer has put in a prediction for the star defensive lineman to go with the Blue and Gold.

With all of his official visits concluded, he will now have about a month the finalize his decision. Golden visited South Bend during the weekend of June 20th, his last trip that was scheduled. While Notre Dame has multiple edge rushers committed, they lack a big body on the outside to compliment them. Golden would be that perfect addition, and if Singer is correct, they will be doing just that.

2027 Four-Star Recruit Puts Florida in Top 12
2027 Four-Star Recruit Puts Florida in Top 12 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The University of Florida football program has long been recognized for its ability to produce top NFL talent at nearly every position group. In recent history, the tight end position has seen notable success, exemplified by Kyle Pitts being selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft after an illustrious career with the Gators. Advertisement Florida is now looking for its next Pitts-esque recruit to lock down the tight end position for the future. Head coach Billy Napier and company hope they found it with Norwalk, Iowa's Luke Brewer. Brewer, who is a consensus four-star in the 2027 class, took to social media Thursday to announce he has narrowed down his recruitment to his top 12 teams, which includes Florida. "At this time my recruitment is still 100 percent open," Brewer said on X/Twitter. "But with that being said I have came out with this list based on feel, fit and the effort put in to making these talks with coaches! Not saying this is set in stone but as of right now let's roll." Norwalk High School tight end Luke BrewerEliot Clough The Norwalk High School product has turned heads due to his size and athletic ability. Standing at 6-foot-4.5 and weighing 228 pounds, Brewer has the makeup of an SEC tight end. He is ranked No. 4 among all recruits from the state of Iowa for the 2027 class and is the 17th-ranked tight end in the country in the 247Sports Composite rankings. Advertisement Along with the Gators, Brewer included SEC rivals Georgia, Tennessee and Texas A&M and national powerhouses like Notre Dame and Oregon in his top 12. However, the team Florida may have to watch out for the most on the recruiting trail is Iowa, which is known for its talent at the tight end position. The Hawkeyes, affectionately named "Tight End U," have had many greats at the position, including Dallas Clark, T.J. Hockenson and Noah Fant. While Iowa may have the upper hand in the recruiting battle for Brewer based on history and location, Napier and Florida will certainly make a run at the top tight end target.

College Football Expert Says Florida is Most Important Program in 2025
College Football Expert Says Florida is Most Important Program in 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Florida Gators have a tough road ahead of them in the 2025 season. With one of if not the toughest schedules in college football, UF will have a big impact on the outlook of the College Football Playoff come December. Advertisement Florida will face four teams who finished in the top 11 of the AP Poll at the end of last season and five of the top 25 this fall. Because of this gauntlet of a schedule, On3's J.D. PicKell tabbed the Gators as "the most important team in college football in 2025." PicKell said that because Florida plays several teams with CFP aspirations early in the season, UF could become a "course-setter" for the college football landscape." Florida Gators wide receiver Dallas Wilson (6).Matt Pendleton-Imagn Images After matchups against Long Island University and USF to begin the year, the Gators will play two straight road games against LSU and Miami before coming back to Gainesville to host the Texas Longhorns. Advertisement This three-week stretch will say a lot about both Florida's chances of making the 12-team playoff and its opponents' chances as well. "If Florida ends up being a version of what they were in November from last year," PicKell said. "Florida could be not just a party crasher... might mess around, knock on the back door trying to get in the College Football Playoff [themselves]." The Gators finished the 2024 season winners of four straight with victories over LSU, Ole Miss, Florida State and a Gasparilla Bowl win against Tulane. There is no doubt it will be tough sledding for Florida in 2025, but, as PicKell said, there is a chance the Gators could play spoiler or make a run themselves.
