Notre Dame Lands Elite DT Brayden Parks | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame just pulled off a major recruiting coup by landing top defensive tackle Brayden Parks from Chicago, beating out Oregon and Ohio State after nearly two years of pursuit. This adds firepower to their already elite 2027 defensive line class, marking a rare era of consistent top-tier tackle recruitment. Parks, the 23rd commit and third DT, brings explosive power, elite leverage, and surprising quickness for his size — racking up 7.5 sacks and 30 pressures last season. Built to dominate the trenches, he’s a run-stopper with strong hands and a clear game plan, perfectly suited to anchor Notre Dame’s interior defense and elevate their run-stopping prowess.
