Saline (Mich.) High class of 2027 three-star offensive lineman Louis Esposito, who committed to Michigan in July 2025, recently visited Notre Dame's campus and received a scholarship offer from the Fighting Irish after his trip.

Why it matters

This visit and offer could impact Esposito's future plans and the recruiting battle between two major college football programs.
