One Thing Keeping Notre Dame Fighting Irish Recruit from Cashing in on NIL Deals
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish were able to secure a commitment from one of the best offensive linemen in the 2025 class. Will Black, who stands a towering 6-foot, 7.5 inches tall and weighs in at 283, looks like a star in the making.
The five-star recruit is No. 2 in On3’s prospect rankings. He has all of the tools you want to see in a potential star along the offensive line, receiving praise from On3’s Charles Power, the Director of Scouting and Rankings.
“In my time evaluating high school prospects, the 2025 cycle to this point is the deepest I’ve seen on the offensive line. Will Black leads that group going into his senior year. He has incredible size, length and a developmental frame. He’s an elite athlete at that size. You see all his skills on the field. He’s only played high school football in the United States for one season.”
Black attends Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut. He hails from London, Ontario, which is where the issue with NIL earnings comes into play.
