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".
