The slot is now covered
The post spring game pledges are coming in hot and heavy. On Monday, 4-Star wide receiver, Bubba Frazier, gave his public commitment to Notre Dame and its 2026 football recruiting class.

The 5’10” 165 pounder from Benedictine Military School in Savannah, Georgia, chose the Irish over an interesting offer list that included the Wisconsin Badgers, Auburn Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, Arkansas Razorbacks, and more.
Explosive plays can swing a game and Frazier is an explosive athlete. Though he is undersized at just under 5-10 and 177 pounds, he has the kind of rare speed combined with solid ball skills that can make him a big play threat whenever he touches the football.
He could play the slot or the field at Notre Dame, but should be someone who can be used in a variety of ways on gadget plays as well as potentially be utilized in the return game. He’ll need to develop his total game as a receiver and that may take some time, but even before that happens, he could end up contributing early on in certain packages.
Exciting offensive weapon who fits a slot role in the long term, but could also move around for backfield touches in varying personnel packages. Also could provide return game touches. Strong production with 2,400-plus scrimmage yards on 213 total touches during sophomore-junior seasons. Added limited defensive and special teams snaps. Couples explosive linear acceleration with above average speed-changing nuance. Capable of taking the top off the deep third, but also a fierce run-after-catch threat in the screen/jet/fly game. Junior tape and Under Armour Atlanta context reveal some short-to-intermediate know-how as well. Still developing consistent route snap, but understands the need for creating late space at the catch point. Excellent verified speed markers in track and combine settings. A bit tight through the hips and core at times. Frame-limited, but fits the mold of a big-play offensive athlete who naturally suits the slot. Projects to the P4 level as a potential multi-year impact player who could particularly excel in the right system.
Bubba is Notre Dame’s 11th commitment for the 2026 class and the first one from the state of Georgia. Overall, there are 7 different states that are represented in this class which is currently ranked 3rd in the country by the 247 Team Composite Rankings.
Wide receiver, all of a sudden, is a position where Notre Dame is starting to stack up on its roster — but it’s still needing more of them to step up to play major roles. Frazier’s commitment gets Notre Dame closer to where they want to be, but I still expect at least one more WR commitment in this class — and maybe even two more.
As a lot of people have already suggested — don’t let Frazier’s ranking fool you. Notre Dame absolutely loves what Bubba brings to the table with his speed and athleticism, and consider him to be highly underrated. When it comes to recruits like this, I tend to fall in line with the coaching staff, and I’m excited at the possibilities Frazier will have in South Bend.
