As March unfolds, Notre Dame’s football recruiting efforts for the 2025 class continue to make significant strides, reflecting the program’s commitment to securing top talent nationwide.

 

**Recent Commitments and Flips**

 

In a notable development, Notre Dame successfully flipped two key commitments for the 2025 recruiting class. Cameron Herron, a 3-star offensive lineman from Warren Central High School in Indianapolis, switched his pledge from the Iowa Hawkeyes to the Fighting Irish. Herron is recognized for his impressive lateral movements and powerful run blocking. On the same day, 4-star quarterback Blake Hebert from Brunswick School in Greenwich, Connecticut, decommitted from Clemson to join Notre Dame. Despite a challenging junior year due to a broken ankle, Hebert has demonstrated resilience and potential as a poised signal-caller with solid vision and a knack for extending plays. citeturn0news14

 

**National Signing Day Success**

 

On National Signing Day, Notre Dame received a significant boost with the commitment and signing of 4-star linebacker Madden Faraimo from JSerra Catholic High School in San Juan Capistrano, California. Faraimo, standing at 6’3″ and weighing 230 pounds, chose the Irish over programs like USC and Washington. His versatility allows him to play multiple linebacker positions or even develop into a full-time edge rusher in college. citeturn0search0
