Today we find out if 2026 Texas defensive lineman Tiki Hola will be joining Notre Dame football’s recruiting class or instead picking USC or SMU.
The 6-foot, 2-inch and 285-pound prospect is considered one of the best nationally, ranking as the No. 311 overall prospect by the 247Sports Composite. Hola had some impressive offers as he went through the process, as Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Oregon and others were recruiting him as well.
He’ll make his announcement later this afternoon, so let’s take a look at what the experts see happening, starting with 247Sports. There is only one pick, by Notre Dame insider Eric Thomas for Hola to select the Irish.
As for Rivals, it’s looking very good for Notre Dame. Four of their insiders have made picks for Hola, and each of them have picked the Irish. Putting all of this together, it very much looks like the Blue and Gold will be adding another big-time prospect to their 2026 recruiting class.
