Jackson Vaughn Heads to IMG for Notre Dame | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Jackson Vaughn, the top-ranked edge rusher in New Jersey and a four-star 2027 commit to Notre Dame, is transferring to IMG Academy for his senior year to graduate early and enroll at the Fighting Irish a year ahead of schedule. After two seasons at Bergen Catholic, where early graduation wasn’t feasible, Vaughn’s move to the nation’s No. 2 high school program sets him on track to hit his 2027 target. Already a standout — earning All-American honors as a sophomore with 12 TFLs and 8 sacks, and freshman All-American honors with 4 sacks in the state title game — Vaughn remains locked in on Notre Dame despite the change of scenery. His arrival at IMG could also be a recruiting goldmine for the Irish, as he’ll become the first IMG Academy graduate to sign with Notre Dame since 2018, potentially unlocking more top talent from the powerhouse school.
