Notre Dame Commit Profile: Safety Nick Reddish originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Notre Dame landed another talented defensive back when North Carolina safety Nick Reddish committed to the Fighting Irish. Reddish was the final piece to a secondary class that is arguably the best in the country in the 2026 recruiting cycle.

As of July 11, Wisconsin's class of 2026 ranks No. 49 in the nation and No. 15 in the Big Ten with 15 players committed. Four-star wide receiver Jayden Petit and four-star running back Amari Latimer impacted the program's national standing in late June. Still, UW's failure to secure additional commitments has left it in need of some new talent.

"Notre Dame is special because it combines elite football with a top education,” Reddish told Blue & Gold following his announcement. “You get NFL development, strong academics, and lifelong support all in one place. Everything about it coming from the recruits and players made it feel like home.”
