As the saying goes in recruiting, it’s not over until the players signs, and that is the approach that Notre Dame is taking with a 5-star Texas commit.
The Irish offered Easton Royal on Wednesday, a 5-foot, 11-inch and 185-pound New Orleans, Louisiana native. He’s ranked as the No. 12 overall prospect in the 2027 class by the 247Sports Composite, and has been committed to the Longhorns since late November.

There is some good news here, as 2026 Irish quarterback signee Teddy Jarrard just spent some time with Royal at the Under Armour All-American Game, as the pair connected for this touchdown.
Relationships matter in recruiting, and if there was some chemistry developed between the two, it could mean that Royal might be rethinking his commitment to Texas. Notre Dame will have to get him on campus for this potential flip to get interesting, and the offer could get the ball rolling in that direction.
