Three-star OT Will Black commits to Notre Dame football’s 2025 class

Black, who has been a standout at the high school level, is widely regarded as one of the top offensive linemen in the 2025 recruiting class. His commitment to Notre Dame is a significant win for head coach Marcus Freeman and the Irish, as they continue to build their football program with top-tier talent. The decision was a tough one for Black, who had been heavily recruited by some of the most prestigious college football programs in the nation.

The 6’6″, 310-pound lineman is known for his combination of size, strength, and agility, making him a force on the field. His commitment to Notre Dame is seen as a major statement for the program, which has been consistently competitive but is aiming to take that next step toward national championship contention. Black’s decision also underscores the appeal of Notre Dame’s football tradition, academic reputation, and the opportunity to play in front of a passionate fan base.

The rivalry between Notre Dame and schools like Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee only adds to the significance of this commitment. While each of those schools offers a rich football legacy, Black’s choice signals his belief in the direction Notre Dame is heading under Freeman. His decision will surely impact the recruiting landscape as other high-profile recruits take note of Black’s choice to join the Fighting Irish.

With Black now in the fold, Notre Dame’s future offensive line looks stronger, and fans are eager to see what this young talent can bring to South Bend.
