BREAKING: Notre Dame Secures Commitment from Elite 4-Star RB Javian Osborne
In a significant victory for Notre Dame’s 2026 recruiting class, four-star running back Javian Osborne has committed to the Fighting Irish, choosing them over Michigan in a highly anticipated decision. Osborne, a standout from Forney High School in Texas, announced his commitment on May 3, 2025, solidifying Notre Dame’s position among the nation’s top recruiting classes.
The 5-foot-10, 200-pound Osborne had previously narrowed his choices to Notre Dame and Michigan after eliminating Texas from contention.

Osborne cited the campus atmosphere and the relationships with the coaching staff as key factors in his decision.
Osborne’s commitment adds to Notre Dame’s growing list of top-tier recruits, enhancing their offensive backfield for the upcoming seasons. His combination of speed, vision, and physicality makes him a valuable addition to the Fighting Irish roster.
This commitment underscores Notre Dame’s continued success in attracting elite talent and positions them for a strong future on the field. With Osborne’s pledge, the Fighting Irish are poised to make a significant impact in college football in the coming years.
