The arrival of running backs coach Ja’Juan Seider from Penn State has already paid dividends for Notre Dame, and more good news could be on the way.
The Fighting Irishextended an offer to elite 2027 wide receiver Matthew Gregory in early June, and there is positive momentum for his potential commitment.
The 6-foot-1, 170-pound five-star prospect is ranked as the No. 39 overall player nationally in his class by the 247Sports Composite Rankings, and he has several offers outside of ND, including Penn State, Florida State and Maryland. But he has praised the relationships he has made across the Irish coaching staff in a report from Kyle Kelly.
During his sophomore season in 2024 at Owen J. Roberts (Pottstown, PA), Gregory recorded 850 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on 48 catches. He also had six interceptions while playing on the other side of the ball, and he has been clocked at 4.35 when running the 40-yard dash.
Is Notre Dame making a move for elite 2027 WR Matthew Gregory? 🧐
“Another reason why they caught my attention is how their coaching staff takes time to talk to me and build relationships with me.” ☘️
