When it comes to 2026 offensive line recruiting, Notre Dame football and offensive line coach Joe Rudolph are off to a fast start. The class could conceivably end today, but the Fighting Irish staff is still interesting in bringing in one more true offensive tackle. There’s no questioning who that final target is, 2026 Glenside (Pa.) La Salle College offensive tackle Grayson McKeogh

Things have been trending well for Notre Dame, and they took another great step toward on Friday. It was announced that McKeogh is down to three schools, and the Pennsylvania native has locked in official visits to each of the finalists. The Fighting Irish are joined by Penn State and Texas on that final list. 

McKeogh will be taking his official visit to South Bend on June 13-15, Penn State on June 6-8, and Texas on June 20-22. Those official visits could go a long way to decided how this recruitment ends. 

The Pennsylvania native now ranks as a four-star recruit on the 247Sports Composite ranking. That rating has him pegged as the No. 260 overall player, No. 22 offensive tackle, and No. 7 player in the state of Pennsylvania in the 2026 recruiting class.

McKeogh’s offer list has also continued to expand, and the demand has risen. Some of the top programs who have offered McKeogh includes the Fighting Irish, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Penn State, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, Indiana, Boston College, Syracuse, Northwestern, West Virginia, Rutgers, Duke, Wake Forest, USF, and Liberty. 

From the Notre Dame perspective, their 2026 offensive line class is in a very good place. They already hold commitments from Tyler Merrill, Ben Nichols, Gregory Patrick, and Sullivan Garvin. That is a very strong four-man class, but they all do project better inside on the next level. There is interest in signing a true offensive tackle, and McKeogh is very much on the short list.
