Notre Dame Baseball Bounces Back, Women’s Hoops Makes a Statement, and a New QB Target Emerges
The Notre Dame baseball team didn’t exactly come out of the gate firing on all cylinders this weekend, but they didn’t stay down for long. After dropping their season opener on Friday, the Fighting Irish responded with authority-taking the next two games against Florida Atlantic in convincing fashion to secure the series win and open the year at 2-1.
Saturday’s game was a statement. Shawn Stiffler’s squad put up 14 runs while holding the Owls to just one.
That kind of offensive explosion is the blueprint Notre Dame had in mind heading into the season. And they didn’t let up.
On Sunday, the Irish followed it up with a 7-1 win, once again flexing their lineup depth and pitching control. It’s early, but this weekend showed that this team has the tools to shake off a bad start and respond with confidence.
Notre Dame Extends Offer to 2027 QB Davin Davidson
On the football front, the Irish are already looking ahead to the future. With Teddy Jarrard reclassifying to the 2026 class, Notre Dame is recalibrating its quarterback recruiting board for 2027. One name that’s now officially in the mix: Davin Davidson.
The 6-foot-7 signal-caller received an offer from Notre Dame on Monday, and his size alone makes him a unique prospect. But it’s more than just height-Davidson’s arm talent and presence in the pocket have caught the attention of the Irish coaching staff. It’s early in the process, but this offer signals that Notre Dame sees real long-term potential here.
Women’s Basketball Picks Up a Crucial Win
It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster season for Niele Ivey’s women’s basketball team, but Sunday’s performance against NC State was the kind of win that can shift momentum in a big way. Facing a tough Wolfpack squad and with NCAA Tournament hopes hanging in the balance, the Irish delivered.
Notre Dame dominated the second quarter, flipping the game on its head and never looking back. The final score-79-67-wasn’t just a win, it was a message.
This team still has fight, and when they’re clicking, they can hang with just about anyone in the country. With March looming, this could be the turning point they needed.
Jadarian Price Turning Heads Ahead of NFL Draft
While a lot of the pre-draft buzz around Notre Dame has centered on Jeremiyah Love-and rightfully so, as he’s tracking toward a first-round selection-there’s another name generating serious intrigue among NFL scouts: Jadarian Price.
PFF Draft Analysts recently spotlighted Price on a podcast, pointing out that his all-around game could make him one of the best backs in the league in the coming years. His vision, burst, and ability to contribute in both the run and pass game make him a versatile weapon at the next level. He may not be the biggest name in this draft class yet, but don’t be surprised if he becomes one of the biggest stories down the line.
From the diamond to the hardwood to the NFL pipeline, it’s been a busy-and encouraging-stretch for Notre Dame athletics.
