Notre Dame has added 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 pledge was reported by On3's Brandon Huffman on November 8, 2026.
Early Commitment for Irish
Bruno's decision comes at an early stage in his recruitment, as the 2028 prospect announced his commitment after experiencing Notre Dame's facilities and program culture firsthand. The linebacker from NorCal becomes one of the earliest known commitments for the Fighting Irish in the 2028 cycle.
