All right, Brian, and part three today show here on the Irish Breakdown podcast,

brought to you by our friends over at Fanduil. We're going to be talking about the 2027 recruiting class, and this is something that we've kind of been doing here, really the last couple of weeks. And we've been talking about names to know. Another reason to be subscribed to the premium message boards at boards at irishbreakdown.com. Brian's been putting out lists and they've been extremely helpful for me.

I know they've been extremely helpful for people in the chat and other message board members

of just recruiting names to know in the 2027 recruiting class.

Today, we're going to be talking about the defensive line and the names to know.

We're separating them into two.

We're talking about defensive ends and then also the interior of the defensive line.

But Brian, to get this conversation started, we kind of have to give a preview of like the state of the state and what some of the needs are for the defensive end recruiting.

Well, I'm, I don't know where Notre Dame is right now with their thoughts on what their needs are

I've heard two, I've heard three,

I'm very curious to see once the new staff is in place

and has evaluated the team,

they've gone through spring if the number of desires change.

I personally believe they need to go three at defensive end in this class.

You got two studs last year.

Your best defensive end in 2024, or no, the 2025 class is probably going to move inside

to detackle.

And you're, you know, you look at the 23 class.
