00:00Notre Dame football got a huge commitment on Monday from four-star wide receiver Bubba Frazier.
00:05What does Bubba bring to the table? Why is this so big for Notre Dame?
00:08Let's talk about Bubba Frazier, the commitment, and what makes this one so massive for the
00:12fighting Irish next. Ryan Roberts from A to Z Sports bringing down everything Notre Dame
00:20football. Folks, Notre Dame on Monday got a huge commitment from 2026 four-star wide receiver
00:26out of Savannah, Georgia, Benedictine Military School. Bubba Frazier, 5'10", 175 pounds.
00:34There are bigger offers on the board and there are bigger targets on the board. We'll talk about
00:39Caden Finley. We'll talk about Brayden Robinson. I'll actually talk a little bit more about Brayden
00:43Robinson here in a minute, but this one, honestly, folks, got me juiced. Offer list, pretty good.
00:50Georgia, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin were kind of viewed as some of the other front runners
00:55for Bubba Frazier, the dynamic slot receiver who can also play a little bit all over the place
00:59out of the state of Georgia. But there are things that I believe the Notre Dame wide receiver room
01:07needed most. And as we continue to evolve the passing attack led by maybe T.J. Carr, maybe
01:15Kenny Minchie, we will see Steve Angeli all for the debate of the quarterback competition right now.
01:20But one thing that we know is that now as this offense evolves under offensive coordinator Mike
01:26Denbrock, they want to get faster. They want to get more space oriented. They want to be able to
01:31create some big plays. And when I look at this team and I look at what this wide receiver room needs
01:36right now, they are a little bit too similar in skill sets. You talk about Jaden Greathouse,
01:42you talk about Jordan Faison. While they are different body types, they do bring similar styles in the
01:47sense of they're quicker than fast. They're more strong through contact slot receiver types. Guys
01:54that can make some things happen in space, but not guys that you would necessarily call dynamic
01:58athletes. You needed more dynamic in the wide receiver room. And that's exactly what Bubba
02:03Frazier brings. Had over 600 yards receiving as a junior. Had over 600 yards rushing as a junior. He's used
02:10all over the place. In a slot, on the outside, in the backfield. They give him jets. They give him
02:16reverses. They do like counter crisscross stuff with them. Like he utilize him in so many different
02:20capacities. And this is the type of wide receiver that Notre Dame needs at a much higher volume.
02:27We've seen it at spurts, right? Like you've seen what some guys in the past have been able to do.
02:32Chris Tyree in some respects, CJ Sanders, Braden Lindsay, like you've seen it in spurts,
02:38but Notre Dame has not really been able to take full advantage of this gadget space weapon at wide
02:44receiver. And that's what Bubba Frazier brings to the table. Four star by multiple platforms,
02:49but I really think that this style more than anything is something that Notre Dame needs
02:54desperately. They need this type of guy that when something is just average or a play isn't going
03:01well, has the ability, the explosiveness, the long speed to be able to make something out of
03:05nothing. You need a guy that has a little bit of a get out of jail free card at wide receiver.
03:10And that's what I believe a player like Bubba Frazier can bring to the table. Now Notre Dame
03:14is going to continue to recruit Red Oak, Texas wide receiver, Braden Robinson, who is a little bit
03:20similar ish, but I do think that they both can work together. And honestly, you needed this style
03:25on the roster. So if you want to get two players with a similar style on the roster, I think that
03:29it would be a very strong opportunity for Notre Dame to continue to dive headfirst into this modern
03:34space game that we're seeing folks. How excited are you about Bubba Frazier? If you haven't seen
