Notre Dame Is After An Impressive Group of 2026 Quarterbacks

Breaking down every quarterback offered during the Notre Dame 2024 Pot of Gold offer event

On St. Patrick’s Day, Notre Dame extended a flurry of offers to the 2026 recruiting class as a part of their Pot of Gold offer event. This is a yearly event, which really highlights a lot of the top underclassmen who are on their radar.

As a part of the 100 plus offers on Sunday, there were six quarterbacks who were offered. Here are the talented 2026 signal callers to know. It is a tremendous class nationally.

Forget about the top quarterback in the 2026 class, Curtis has a legitimate argument as the top overall player in the country. Curtis is a physically mature player with outstanding arm strength, and ability to make plays when things break down. There is a lot of Matthew Stafford to his game, having the look of a high level NFL Draft prospect down the road.

Notre Dame is in pursuit of a couple big time Florida quarterbacks in the 2026 recruiting class. That includes Grubbs, who is set to make his third trip to Notre Dame this offseason. He may present the highest floor of any signal caller on the board, standing right near 6-4 and 220 pounds, with a really good arm and understanding for how to play the position. Grubbs is high on the Irish right now.

Funny enough, Hart actually trains with Grubbs. The comparisons pretty much end there. Hart is the quarterback in most need of physical development at around 175 pounds, but he boasts some big time tools. As Hart fills out, he has a chance to have the strongest arm of the group and is a good overall athlete as well. His upside is really impressive, with a great foundation to build on.

Huhn was just offered by Notre Dame back on February 21st. He is a very natural thrower, with good size and compact release despite being a little bit longer. The Irish staff had been out to see him throw a couple times during the open period, eventually leading to the offer. While Huhn may not be as advanced as a couple quarterbacks on the list, he does not lack in talent.

When you take a look at the entirety of the list of quarterbacks, Lyons is the clearest projection as a dual threat option on the next level. The 6-2, 200-pound signal caller is fresh off of a dominant performance for Folsom last season. Notre Dame has not been shy to let Lyons know how high they are on him. Getting him on campus is a priority, and something that the California native is pushing for this offseason.

Smigiel is a strong armed passer that does his best work inside the pocket. He is also a solid athlete, showing the ability to maneuver to buy time in structure. His arm strength and natural ability as a thrower allows him to challenge every level of the field. Smigiel visited Notre Dame for their Junior Day several weeks ago, a trip that really blew Smigiel away.
