Top Recruit Kemon Spell Weighing Options, Notre Dame Emerges as Frontrunner

As of August 26th, 2025, the recruitment of top 2027 running back prospect Kemon Spell has taken an interesting turn. Spell, currently committed to Penn State, is scheduled to make an unofficial visit to Notre Dame this weekend when the Irish host Texas A&M.

According to recent reports, Notre Dame is now one of six schools that have a chance to flip the nation's 9th-ranked overall recruit in the 247Sports Composite. In addition to the Irish, Ohio State, Tennessee, USC, Alabama, and Michigan are also in the mix to sway Spell away from his Penn State commitment.

This development puts the Nittany Lions in a difficult spot, as they had secured Spell's pledge earlier in the 2026 recruiting cycle. However, Notre Dame has had success going up against Penn State for top prospects, recently landing players like Joey O'Brien and Khary Adams. The hope is that the Irish can continue that trend and potentially land the elite running back Spell.
