Nation’s No. 2 QB Posts Three-Word Message After Committing to Historic College Football Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Despite players in the 2027 recruiting class still having two more years left at the high school level, many of the top players are already receiving strong interest from programs looking to make early connections.

One name that several were already kicking the tires on was quarterback Teddy Jarrard out of Kennesaw, Georgia, and in June alone, he had taken a total of 10 visits, all of which were with different teams.
However, one clearly stood out above the rest, because on Thursday, Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett reported that the quarterback had committed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to play under head coach Marcus Freeman.
Quickly after the news broke, Jarrard took to X to celebrate the decision, reposting Fawcett’s report while writing “See you soon, @NDFootball.”

There’s no doubt that the Fighting Irish are happy to have him on board, as he’s already been impressive for North Cobb Christian High School, completing 209-of-291 passes for 2,647 yards, 31 touchdowns and five interceptions as a sophomore last season.
After putting up a stat line like that, it doesn’t come as a major surprise that Rivals places him as a four-star recruit, the No. 2 quarterback, the No. 5 player in Georgia and the No. 52 player in the nation.

It’s clear that Freeman’s reputation played a big part in his decision as well, with Jarrard telling Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong, “Not many places have a coach like Coach Freeman. That stands out from the rest.”
It likely wasn’t an easy battle to come out on top of either, as Wiltfong also reported that the Georgia Bulldogs, the Michigan Wolverines, the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Penn State Nittany Lions were among the quarterback’s other finalists.

Jarrard also becomes just the third player that Notre Dame and Freeman have landed in the 2027 class, joining three-star linebacker Ellis McGaskin and unrated long snapper Sean Kraft, both of whom committed in June.
