The Notre Dame football program is still in the mix for one of the top wide receiver recruits in the 2026 cycle. On Thursday, Jacksonville (Fla.) The Bolles School four-star wide receiver Naeem Burroughs included the Fighting Irish in his Top 6 schools.

“I haven’t been there, but I have watched them some, and I like how they play,” Burroughs told On3 director of recruiting Chad Simmons. “I have a great relationship with (wide receivers) Coach (Mike) Brown and (head) Coach (Marcus) Freeman.”

Burroughs, the No. 60 overall player and No. 9 wide receiver in the high school junior class, also included Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Texas and Wisconsin.

Among the schools that the No. 7 prospect in the Sunshine State left out of his top schools are Alabama, Auburn, Georgia LSU, Miami, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina, Southern Cal, Tennessee and Texas A&M. Each one offered him a scholarship.

Burroughs’ brother, Quincy Burroughs, is a junior wide receiver at Wisconsin. Brown recruited the older Burroughs to play for the Badgers and offered Naeem when he was a part of the Big Ten program.

Burroughs attends the same high school at Notre Dame 2026 four-star linebacker target Simeon Caldwell.
