5-Star WR Stuns College Football World with Shocking Decommitment from Monarchs, Flips Commitment to Notre Dame Over Powerhouses Penn State, Tennessee

 

In a move that has taken the college football world by storm, 5-star wide receiver Jaden Harris has decommitted from Monarchs University and flipped his commitment to the University of Notre Dame. Harris, widely regarded as one of the top receiving prospects in the 2026 recruiting class, shocked fans and analysts alike with his decision, choosing the Fighting Irish over powerhouse programs like Penn State and Tennessee.

 

The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Harris, from Birmingham, Alabama, has been a standout talent since his high school days, known for his rare combination of size, speed, and ball skills. Harris has amassed over 1,500 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns in just two seasons, quickly establishing himself as a top target for college scouts nationwide. His ability to create separation from defenders and make spectacular catches in key moments made him one of the most coveted wide receiver recruits of the cycle.

 

Harris initially committed to Monarchs University, a rising program, but has now stunned the recruiting world by opting for the historic and prestigious Notre Dame program. He explained the reasoning behind his change of heart in a statement released earlier today.

 

“Notre Dame felt like the right fit for me — both on and off the field. The culture, the coaching staff, and the opportunity to play at such a historic program with an incredible fanbase, it all just clicked for me,” Harris said. “While I have tremendous respect for Monarchs, Penn State, and Tennessee, Notre Dame was always my dream school. I’m excited to be a part of the Irish legacy and help continue to build something special in South Bend.”

 

Harris’ commitment to Notre Dame is a huge win for head coach Marcus Freeman and the Fighting Irish, who have been building a strong recruiting class for 2026. The addition of Harris gives Notre Dame one of the most dynamic and highly-touted wide receivers in the nation, enhancing their offensive weaponry for the future.

 

Freeman shared his excitement about landing Harris, calling him “a generational talent” who can make an immediate impact. “Jaden has everything we look for in a wide receiver. He has the ability to stretch the field, create mismatches, and be a game-changer. We’re thrilled that he chose Notre Dame, and we can’t wait to see him thrive in our system.”

 

While Harris’ decommitment from Monarchs University sent shockwaves through the recruiting world, it’s Notre Dame that ultimately emerged victorious in the battle for his commitment. Both Penn State and Tennessee were considered strong contenders in his recruitment, with each program offering enticing opportunities to develop as a wide receiver. However, the allure of playing for Notre Dame’s storied program, along with the opportunity to work under a coaching staff committed to developing elite talent, was too strong for Harris to resist.

 

With Harris now in the fold, Notre Dame’s 2026 recruiting class continues to gain momentum, and the Fighting Irish appear well on their way to becoming a powerhouse in college football once again. Harris’ decision to join the program adds another exciting chapter to Notre Dame’s recruiting success, and fans are eager to see what the future holds with the talented wide receiver in South Bend.
