Elite Safety Ivan Taylor Returning To Notre Dame

Star 2025 Florida safety Ivan Taylor heading back to Notre Dame on July 30th for the recruiting cookout

One of the big winners during this year’s Irish Invasion was 2025 Winter Garden (Fla.) West Orange safety Ivan Taylor, who is already considered one of the elite defensive backs in the entire class. Taylor put together a tremendous performance and left that initial visit with a scholarship offer from Notre Dame.

Later this month, Taylor will be making the trip back to South Bend. The Florida native told Irish Breakdown that he will be back for the recruiting cookout on July 30th.

Getting Taylor back on campus is a big step for the Irish staff. They have seemingly positioned themselves early on with a few very talented safeties, a position that needs the be recruited at a higher level moving forward.

Taylor is already a consensus four-star by every major recruiting platform. He is ranked as a top 30 nationally recruit by both 247Sports (No. 30) and ESPN (No. 28). Both platforms rate Taylor as the No. 3 safety in the 2025 recruiting class.

The 6-0, 170-pound safety is being courted by some of the top prospects in all of college football. Taylor currently holds offers from the Fighting Irish, Alabama, Michigan, USC, Penn State, Florida, Tennessee, Florida State, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Pittsburgh among several others.

In only nine games as a sophomore, Taylor made his full impact on the back end. He finished the season with 65 total tackles, five tackles for loss, half a sack, three interceptions and eight pass breakups.
