Notre Dame just added another Chicago powerhouse to its 2027 recruiting class — defensive lineman Brayden Parks, a six-foot-three, 305-pound monster from Brother Rice High School. With over 40 offers, Parks chose Notre Dame over Oregon for its championship pedigree and strong connection with head coach Marcus Freeman and his defensive line staff. He joins Christopher Burgess Jr. and Dominik Hulak as top local talent building Notre Dame’s defensive line. Parks, a top national prospect, is seen as a complete package with room to grow. Now, most elite Illinois prospects are committed — though a few, like receiver Lawrence Carr, remain uncommitted. With the early signing period in December and main signing day in February 2027, Notre Dame is clearly locking in its future with Chicago’s best.
