With just one current commit, wide receiver Dylan Faison, the Irish coaching staff is scouring the 2026 class for player who deserve an offer. One of those players turned out to be Ohio athlete Storm Miller, who got his Notre Dame offer on Monday.

Defensive end Deuce Geralds received the offer, as the 2026 prospect continues to add onto his already impressive list. The Irish joined teams like Alabama, LSU, Michigan and others in offering the nations No. 120 overall prospect and 13th defensive lineman according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Once Marty Biagi returned to Notre Dame football as its special teams coordinator 14 months ago, it was only a matter of time before an Australian punter landed with the Irish. Wednesday was that time.

Rendell will join the Fighting Irish for the 2024 season and checks in at 6-6, 225-pounds. We discussed his commitment a bit earlier this evening but since I’ve been on the lookout for more on Rendell’s Australian rules football career.

It was an area Lance Taylor said he’d address and look to strengthen. Consider that done. Western Michigan’s second-year football coach landed Power 5 player via the transfer portal on Monday, as Notre Dame graduate offensive lineman Quinn Murphy publicly announced his commitment to the Broncos via social media.

On Wednesday, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish signed Australian punter James Rendell as part of its incoming 2024 recruiting class. According to Irish Sports Daily’s Matt Freeman, Rendell comes to Notre Dame as a graduate transfer — but the exact number of years of eligibility that he will have during his time in South Bend is still to be determined by the NCAA.
