Summary

Notre Dame football secured a commitment from Pittsburgh defensive tackle Francis Brewu.
Brewu joins Notre Dame under defensive line coach Charlie Partridge.
Brewu produced 7.5 tackles for loss and two quarterback hurries for Pitt.

Notre Dame football has successfully recruited former Pittsburgh defensive tackle Francis Brewu from the transfer portal. Brewu, a highly sought-after prospect, will now play under defensive line coach Charlie Partridge, who recently joined the Irish coaching staff after a stint with the NFL's Indianapolis Colts. Brewu's commitment marks a significant addition to Notre Dame's defensive front.

Brewu, a native of Westerville, Ohio, displayed notable performance during his two seasons at Pittsburgh. He recorded 7.5 tackles for loss, including a sack, and two quarterback hurries in his most recent season. His ability to disrupt opposing offenses was evident, contributing 36 tackles, 18 of which were stops for negative yardage.

The defensive tackle visited Tennessee and Notre Dame before his commitment, with Ohio State, South Carolina, and Indiana also reportedly showing interest. Brewu's arrival, alongside other recent portal acquisitions like Keon Keeley, Quincy Porter, Jayden Sanders, and DJ McKinney, strengthens Notre Dame's roster as they prepare for upcoming seasons.
