Ryan Roberts discusses three longshot 2027 recruits that Notre Dame will be making a final push for this weekend

Linebacker, controversial one because no one wants to hear this.

Kayden Henderson out of Tampa Bay Jesuits in the state of Florida.

He is a, man, five-star player, dynamic athlete.

Notre Dame has wanted this guy for a long time.

Obviously, you just have one linebacker commit right now in Amari Irvin.

I am gonna pick Texas A&M for now.

I think Notre Dame will have a chance.

They're running second, absolutely, but I'm gonna take Texas A&M for now.

But I'm gonna make up for it in Roman Igwebuike, who is out of Mount Carmel in Chicago, Illinois.

I'm gonna pick Notre Dame to finish that one out.

You gotta beat out Clemson, Indiana, but I'm gonna say they did a really good job with Roman.

In the secondary real quick to finish this out, Breidy James, who is out of the state of Texas.

He's out of Manvel, very good t- very good high school down there.

He is committed to Texas, yet Notre Dame, LSU have a lot of momentum on their side.

I'm gonna pick LSU to ultimately win this one out because he's from Louisiana, fresh off the official visit.

This is another one where if No- if Notre Dame knocks the official visit out of the park, it could completely change my opinion.

Notre Dame could end up with Breidy James.

I've predicted him in the past to end up with Notre Dame, but it's either gonna be LSU or Notre Dame in the end.

I'll go LSU for now, but I do think Notre Dame could flip that switch very easily this weekend when he's on campus
