Notre Dame football will get off to a strong start in the 2026 recruiting season when spring practices begin.
One of the cycle’s top prospects will be staying with the Irish in a few days. It just so happens that Joey O’Brien is among the top players in Pennsylvania.
This next week, O’Brien, a four-star athlete from La Salle in Glenside, will get the opportunity to observe firsthand what the Notre Dame football team has to offer. According to reports, he will be on campus on March 19, one day after his March 18 visit to Michigan, a bitter Irish rival.
Immediately following St. Patrick’s Day, Notre Dame football hosts a major event.
Although O’Brien has already established his official visitation plan, he will be doing some visits this spring to help him determine his exact goals.
This Wednesday’s visit is by no means O’Brien’s first time to Notre Dame. Last year, he made a number of stops, and in 2024, he will make another journey in early March.
Additionally, he plans to attend the Fighting Irish game on June 3. O’Brien, who is ranked No. 91 in the 2026 class by the 247 Sports Composite rankings, will have a very busy end of May and June, so that trip will be one of several this summer.
The athlete who has the potential to be a top-tier defensive back will officially visit Clemson on May 30. On June 3, he will watch Notre Dame football; on June 6, Oregon; on June 13, Tennessee; and on June 20, Ohio State. Although a formal commitment date has not been set, O’Brien would most likely choose to pledge to one last school prior to the 2025 season commencing.
