Lincoln Fa’alafi places Notre Dame at No. 1
In a recent report from Irish Sports Daily, 2028 offensive tackle Lincoln Fa’alafi revealed that Notre Dame currently sits at the top of his recruitment list following a weekend visit to South Bend.
The 6-foot-8, 360-pound prospect saved his final trip of the season for the Irish’s win over Miami. Fa’alafi told Irish Sports Daily that the game day environment was amazing and popping every single second.
Taking down No. 1 Miami was crazy, Fa’alafi said, adding that the team deserved the victory because they worked very hard for it.
Before kickoff, the JSerra Catholic standout spent time with current commits and recruits, comparing experiences and learning why they chose the program. He noted that the relationships fostered by DJ Bryant, Marcus Freeman, offensive line coach Joe Rudolph, and the rest of the staff feel different and special compared to other colleges.
Fa’alafi holds a substantial list of offers that includes Alabama, Florida, Ohio State, Oregon, USC, UCLA, BYU, Texas A&M, Washington, California, and Nebraska. Earlier in the month, he named a Top 7 consisting of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Oklahoma, UCLA, BYU, and USC.
Originally from New Zealand and transitioning to football from basketball, the massive lineman values academic opportunities and cultural fit just as much as athletic development. As a Christian attending a Catholic school, he views the university’s environment as a natural match for his personal values.
Ohio State and Oregon currently trail the Irish in his recruitment, with UCLA and Oklahoma also remaining heavily in the mix. With his fall visit schedule officially concluded, Fa’alafi plans to spend the upcoming week focusing on his coursework and offseason training.
Next weekend, scheduled for November 14-15, Fa’alafi intends to narrow his recruitment down to a top three schools list to evaluate alongside his family.
