Notre Dame’s football program is riding a wave of recruiting excitement, especially at the quarterback position in the 2028 class.
Among the standout prospects is Trey Tagliaferri, a four‑star quarterback from Bergen Catholic High School in New Jersey, whose name has become synonymous with the Fighting Irish’s plans for the future.
Tagliaferri has made multiple unofficial trips to South Bend, getting a close look at the campus, the coaching staff and the offensive scheme that has already produced several successful signal callers.
In his sophomore season he threw for 2,215 yards and 29 touchdowns, a performance that not only earned him a top ranking among quarterbacks but also attracted attention from powerhouse programs across the country.

Schools such as Georgia, Ohio State and Alabama have all extended offers, underscoring the national appeal of the youngster from Oradell.
What sets Notre Dame apart is its recent track record of developing quarterbacks who go on to excel at the collegiate level, a legacy that fuels optimism that Tagliaferri could follow a similar path.
Coach Marcus Freeman, now in his second year as head coach, has been vocal about the importance of securing a quarterback of Tagliaferri’s caliber, and his staff continues to push aggressively for a commitment.
If the recruit decides to join the Irish, it would mark another milestone in a recruiting class that already promises to reshape the team’s offensive outlook.
