Notre Dame OT commit Will Black named a five-star recruit
Notre Dame has secured a significant commitment from offensive tackle Will Black, a highly sought-after recruit in the 2025 class. Standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 295 pounds, Black hails from Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut. He chose the Fighting Irish over prestigious programs such as Alabama, Michigan, and Penn State.
Initially rated as a three-star prospect, Black’s impressive performances and development have elevated him to a five-star status, according to the On3 Industry Ranking. This ranking places him as the No. 26 overall player and the No. 6 offensive tackle nationally in the 2025 class.
Black’s commitment marks a milestone for Notre Dame, as he becomes the first five-star recruit to join the program under head coach Marcus Freeman. His addition bolsters an already strong 2025 recruiting class, which includes other notable offensive line talents such as Owen Strebig from Wisconsin and Matty Augustine from Connecticut.
The decision to commit to Notre Dame reflects Black’s confidence in the program’s direction and his desire to contribute to its future success. His combination of size, skill, and athleticism makes him a valuable asset for the Fighting Irish as they continue to build a formidable offensive line for the coming seasons.
