Notre Dame football lands 2025 North Carolina safety

Notre Dame football won out a huge recruiting battle on Friday afternoon, as 2025 North Carolina safety JaDon Blair committed to the Irish.

The 6-foot, 4-inch and 190-pound back-end player committed to Notre Dame over Virginia Tech, South Carolina, Louisville, Penn State, Florida State and Michigan. During his commitment, he teased the hats of the Nittany Lions and Wolverines, giving them false hope.

Notre Dame now adds the country’s No. 160 overall prospect and 13th ranked safety according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Blair joins one of the best collections at the position in the nation, with Ivan Taylor, Anthony Sacca, and Ethan Long.

Blair is commitment No. 22 for the Irish, which is ranked as the No. 3 overall class nationally according to the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings.
