Surprise Commitment Shakes Up Notre Dame Recruiting
9 Mar
Summary
- 2027 tight end Seneca Driver unexpectedly committed to Oklahoma.
- Driver is the nation's No. 56 overall prospect in the 2027 class.
- Notre Dame hopes to convince Driver to reconsider his commitment.

Notre Dame experienced a recruiting setback as 2027 tight end Seneca Driver unexpectedly committed to the Oklahoma Sooners. Driver, standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 234 pounds, is recognized as the nation's No. 56 overall prospect for the 2027 class.
Despite his commitment to Oklahoma, Driver has two visits scheduled to Notre Dame: a Junior Day this spring and an official visit in mid-June. It remains uncertain if he will attend these previously planned visits. Notre Dame is reportedly hoping to convince Driver to return to campus, potentially initiating a "flip watch".
If Notre Dame fails to sway Driver, he is not expected to be part of their 2027 recruiting class. This development highlights the competitive nature of college football recruiting.
