Notre Dame has secured a verbal commitment from Northern California linebacker Julian Bruno, a member of the 2028 recruiting class, following his visit to the South Bend campus.
The commitment was reported by On3's Brandon Huffman on Sunday. Bruno, who plays on the West Coast, traveled to Indiana to tour the Fighting Irish facilities and meet with the coaching staff before making his decision.
As a 2028 prospect, Bruno's commitment comes early in his high school career, signaling Notre Dame's continued focus on identifying and securing talent well ahead of traditional signing periods. The Fighting Irish program has built a reputation for strong defensive development, particularly at the linebacker position.
