Notre Dame’s recent momentum on the recruiting trail continued today as four-star safety Ayden Pouncey from Winter Park High School in Florida announced his commitment to Notre Dame’s class of 2026. Ranked among the top safeties in the country, Pouncey’s commitment gives Notre Dame yet another major building block in their defensive backfield on the same weekend it saw two stalwarts from the secondary, the last few seasons, get selected on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Recruitment Overview
Pouncey chose Notre Dame over an impressive list of other offers, including Florida, Florida State, Penn State, LSU, Michigan, and Alabama, among others.
