Notre Dame will be one of four teams to compete in the 2026 Jax Baseball Classic
The event will be held February 20-22 at VyStar Ballpark in Jacksonville, home of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins. Each team will play the other three opponents once across the weekend slate in a round-robin style tournament. Past Jax Baseball Classic champions include Alabama in 2025 and Virginia in 2024.
The weekend will reunite UCF head coach Rich Wallace with the Irish. He spent three seasons with the team from 2020-22.
Notre Dame finished the 2025 season with a 32-21 record, including a 14-16 mark in ACC play, and missed the postseason. The Irish picked up an intriguing grad transfer over the weekend in Andrew Graham, a Division II All-American who hit .446 with 14 home runs and 78 RBI in 2025.

Top Notre Dame 2027 wide reciever target takes notice of Teddy Jarrard's commitment
When elite Class of 2027 quarterback Teddy Jarrard pledged to Notre Dame on Thursday, many college football observers took notice. And that includes Fighting Irish wide receiver target Antayvious Ellis, a fellow member of the 2027 class. Irish head coach Marcus Freeman and his staff have been able to put together a monster 2026 haul, so it is no surprise that the momentum has kept rolling as they start to assemble their 2027 class. The addition of Jarrard, a four-star North Cobb (Kennesaw, GA) prospect, was massive, as he chose the Irish over Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan and Penn State. Could Ellis, a Crowley product (Crowley, TX), be next? ND has very good recent history with Lone Star State wideouts, including Jaden Greathouse, who is poised for a breakout 2025 campaign. And the 2026 class includes Kaydon Finley and Brayden Robinson. Ellis is a four-star prospect and the No. 40 player in the state of Texas, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He has offers from several major powers besides Notre Dame, including Texas, Oregon and USC, among several others. The 6-foot, 175-pounder had 55 receptions for 794 yards and 11 touchdowns as a sophomore last season.
