Notre Dame football 2026 class quarterback commit Noah Grubbs was not in attendance at Saturday’s Blue-Gold Game. But for good reason. 

The Lake Mary (Fla.) High passer participated in last Saturday’s and Sunday’s “OT7, Overtime’s Golden Ticket 7-on-7 Tournament” in Dallas. After two days of competition, On3 national scout Cody Bellaire named Grubbs one of the tournament’s top performers:

“Grubbs battled on both days of competition out here at the Golden Ticket Tournament and fought all the way to the end. He carried the Gridiron Elite offense to the semifinals throwing for seven touchdowns and one interception on Day 2. They wound up falling just short to DTX even after a strong three touchdown performance where his team battled injuries and drops. Grubbs displayed quick decision making and quality ball placement at the intermediate levels of the field all weekend long and was throwing receivers open consistently.”

In On3’s rankings, Grubbs is a three-star recruit who ranks as the No. 27 quarterback nationally and the No. 26 player in Florida in the class. In the On3 Industry Ranking — which factors in the rankings of the four primary recruiting media services — he’s the No. 198 overall player, No. 14 quarterback in the country and No. 26 recruit in Florida. 

The 6-4½, 195-pound Grubbs pledged to the Irish last June 1. He will spend most of this upcoming June in South Bend, becoming acquainted with the campus and helping the football program build up its recruiting class.

Notre Dame Quote of the Weekend 

 You would like to be able to kind of go in the fall with a two-quarterback battle. It’s really hard with truly having a three-quarterback battle. But we’ve got to sit down and have conversations about what’s best for our program, what’s best for our quarterbacks, and we’ll make those decisions in the future.”

— Irish coach Marcus Freeman on the quarterback competition following spring practice and entering fall camp.
