2026 three-star Michigan running back recruit to visit Notre Dame

Chances are you haven’t heard of running back recruit Jayden Terry.

He’s currently the 14th-ranked 2026 recruit in Michigan per 247Sports. He’s only a three-star recruit, but he clearly has interest in Notre Dame.

The interest is so great that the 5-foot, 1-inch and 185-pound back will be visiting campus for the Irish’s home opener against Northern Illinois.

What’s interesting about visiting during this particular weekend is that the Irish will be playing a team from the Mid-American Conference, which is where most of Terry’s current offers are from.

Notre Dame themselves have not extended him an offer yet, but they currently only have two commits in its 2026 class, so maybe he’ll eventually be an option.

Terry is about to play his junior season at Grandville. As a

, he ran for 1,713 yards and 24 touchdowns on 207 carries. He ran for at least 100 yards in eight of his 10 games and also had three receptions for 151 yards and two more touchdowns.
