Breaking News: Notre Dame QB Commit Will Black Ranked No. 2 and Five-Star in Final 2025 On300 Rankings
In a major development for Notre Dame football, highly touted quarterback commit Will Black has been ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect and awarded a five-star ranking in the final 2025 On300 rankings. Black, who verbally committed to the Fighting Irish months ago, continues to solidify his status as one of the premier players in the nation and a cornerstone of Notre Dame’s future.
The five-star ranking comes after a standout high school career that has drawn attention from nearly every major program in the country. Known for his strong arm, impressive decision-making, and leadership on and off the field, Black has been consistently ranked as one of the best quarterbacks in the 2025 class. His performance on the field, coupled with his high football IQ, has made him a highly coveted prospect for college programs hoping to land a franchise quarterback.
As one of the top quarterbacks in the country, Black’s commitment to Notre Dame has been a key factor in head coach Marcus Freeman’s growing recruiting momentum. The Fighting Irish have made significant strides in recruiting under Freeman, and securing a five-star quarterback like Black has elevated the program’s profile even further. Black’s commitment is not only a major win on the recruiting trail but also signals that Notre Dame is positioning itself to be a national contender in the coming years.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound signal-caller had a highly impressive senior season, leading his high school team to the playoffs and showcasing his ability to make all the necessary throws at the next level. His deep ball accuracy, poise in the pocket, and ability to read defenses set him apart from many of his peers in the 2025 class.
While many expected Black to be ranked highly, his ascension to the No. 2 spot and his five-star status are major affirmations of his talent and potential. The On300 rankings, which evaluate the best high school players across the nation, have consistently recognized Black as one of the top quarterbacks, and his recent ranking solidifies his place among the elite in his class.
For Freeman and the Notre Dame program, Black’s commitment and ranking are a testament to the program’s growth under his leadership. Notre Dame’s quarterback future now looks incredibly bright with Black at the helm, and the Fighting Irish are poised to benefit from his skills in the coming years.
With the final rankings in place, Black’s five-star status brings even more excitement to Notre Dame’s 2025 class. As the Fighting Irish continue to assemble a championship-caliber team, the addition of a top-tier quarterback like Will Black will be crucial to their aspirations of competing for national titles in the near future.
