From our Notre Dame Rivals staff:
As Notre Dame tries to close on four-star linebacker Madden Faraimo in the 2025 class, the Irish are working on another California linebacker in the 2026 class: Samu Moala. The Rivals100 recruit already has national attention as Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia and Oklahoma are among those trying to pull him away from USC.
After Moala made a two-day visit for the Blue-Gold Game, the Irish felt really good about being a serious contender for him. Let’s see if head coach Marcus Freeman, defensive coordinator Al Golden and linebackers coach Max Bullough can keep the linebacker recruiting at an elite level with Moala’s recruitment.
