Wide Receiver Brayden Robinson Commits To Notre Dame

Notre Dame has picked up another important player in its vaunted 2026 recruiting class with Red Oak (Texas) High School wide receiver Brayden Robinson pledging to the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame beat out Miami (Fla.) and Arizona to land this dynamic playmaker.

Robinson had a bit of an unexpected breakout in 2024. After catching 46 passes for 686 yards (14.9 YPC) and eight touchdowns as a sophomore while serving as a complementary weapon to veteran standout Taz Williams Jr. (Baylor signee), Robinson was thrust into a bigger role as a junior. Williams went down with a season-ending injury in game two and Robinson stepped up in a big, big way. He finished the season with 79 catches for 1,408 yards (17.8 YPC) and 15 touchdowns while emerging as one of the best pass catchers in the state of Texas.

At 5-9 and 160 pounds, Robinson doesn't have prototype size you want in an outside pass catcher but his game is outstanding. He is a legit burner whose 10.44 in the 100-meter dash translates onto the field. Robinson isn't just an after-the-catch weapon, he's also a good route runner with very good ball skills. Combine that with his speed and electric athletic skills and you understand why he was so dominant as a junior.

Robinson adds another explosive athlete to the Notre Dame wide receiver room that also includes fellow Texas star Kaydon Finley, dynamic Georgia receiver Bubba Frazier, Arizona pass catcher Devin Fitzgerald and two-sport star Dylan Faison out of Florida.

Robinson earned a four-star grade and a Top 250 prospect grade on the Irish Breakdown board. He is also a four-star recruit by Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN, with the latter ranking him as the nation's no. 293 overall player.

The Red Oak standout earned offers from Notre Dame, Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State, Tennessee, Miami (Fla.), Ole Miss, Auburn, Nebraska, South Carolina, TCU, Arizona State, Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, SMU, Utah, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Baylor, Texas Tech, Arizona, Kansas, Houston, Stanford and California.
