Notre Dame gets a prediction to land ‘26 DL Elijah Golden, who will commit on July 26th
The decision date is coming for 2026 Florida defensive lineman Elijah Golden, and it's starting to look very good for Notre Dame to add him to its recruiting class.
On Friday, Rivals John Garcia Jr. put in an expert prediction from the Irish to be the pick when the 6-foot, 4-inch and 275-pound prospect makes his decision on July 26th. Golden will also have the hats of Alabama, Oklahoma and Virginia Tech on the table, but at this moment Notre Dame is in a great position.
They currently have Tiki Hola committed on the interior of the defensive line, and would love to add Golden to the fold later this month. He's ranked as the nation's No. 185 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings, and will participate in multiple high school All-Star games once this coming season ends.

Adames has HR, 3 RBIs as Giants beat Athletics 6-2
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Willy Adames homered and drew a pair of bases-loaded walks, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Athletics 6-2 on Sunday night. Tyler Fitzgerald also hit a solo homer, and Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores each had two hits to help back an uneven but effective outing by San Francisco starter Hayden Birdsong. One night after setting a season high with four RBIs, Adames stayed hot at the plate to help the Giants take two of three from their former Bay Area rivals. Adames walked to force in a run in the first inning, hit a solo home run off A's starter Jacob Lopez leading off the fourth then walked again with the bases full in the fifth. It's the first time that a Giants shortstop has had three RBIs in consecutive games since Rich Aurilia in 2000. Tyler Soderstrom had two hits including his 15th home run for the A's. Birdsong (4-3) pitched around traffic most of the evening and didn't allow a run until Soderstrom's solo home run leading off the fourth. He had six strikeouts and overcame control problems to win for the first time since June 1. Spencer Bivens and All-Star reliever Randy Rodríguez each retired three batters. Camilo Doval allowed a run in the ninth before getting Jacob Wilson to ground out and complete the five-hitter. Lopez (2-5) allowed four runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings. After issuing a bases-loaded walk on a checked-swing, Lopez retired the next eight batters including seven consecutive swinging strikeouts. Key stat Birdsong walked five batters, none of which scored. Up next Giants RHP Landen Roupp (6-5, 3.48 ERA) faces Phillies LHP Cristopher Sanchez (7-2, 2.68) on Monday. Athletics LHP Jeffrey Springs (6-6, 4.07) pitches against Braves RHP Didier Fuentes (0-2, 9.00) on Tuesday. ___
