The 5-foot, 11-inch and 215-pounder picked the Irish over Georgia, Penn State and Indiana, showing this was a very big recruiting win. Ranked as the nation’s No. 237 overall prospect by the 247Sports Composite, who also stars as a Track sprinter. It’s a combination that is what many teams are looking for out of a running back, and now Notre Dame has one with those traits in the class.
Since it was a significant recruiting victory, social media was quick to praise the Irish on their win. Check out below some of the best reactions from Notre Dame staffers and recruiting experts.

At this point, you have to trust the coaching staff on which high school backs they want, especially considering they’re about to have two picked in the NFL draft, at least one in the first round. When you add in Kyren Williams and Audric Estime, its an impressive recent resume and Rogers hopes to keep that tradition ongoing.
Recruiting legend Tom Lemming on Isaiah Rogers
Isaiah, one of the top 2 RB prospects in the east has committed to Notre Dame. Possesses all the tools to dominate at the next level. Very impressive young man. good blend of size, power and 4.4 speed. https://t.co/8PHCNdp7Of

Lemming has seen it all in recruiting, one of the fathers of what it is today. When he says Rogers has “all the tools to dominate,” you take his word. Lemming has a great track record at identifying talent, and so does Notre Dame’s staff.
ESPN’s Billy Tucker loves the fit between Notre Dame and Isaiah Rogers
Notre Dame just landed a commitment from Isaiah Rogers, the No. 9 ranked RB in the ESPN SC Next Jr. 300 ☘️ @Isaiah_Rogers08

Rogers is the No. 1 RB in the state of Massachusetts. Great blend of power and speed, he projects as an ideal fit in South Bend. https://t.co/nhdp5zgMlCpic.twitter.com/pJL4eJHzgQ
One of the more underrated aspects of recruiting is program fit, and Notre Dame has shown a unique ability to find many players that do, now including Rogers. Indiana just won a championship doing it, and the Irish could be next.

It’s not a coincidence that wherever Seider is coaching, the running game is in good hands. Both Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price were as explosive as every this past season, and getting a chance to be coached by him was an opportunity Rogers couldn’t pass up.
Mike Singers likes Isaiah Rogers resume
— Rogers has 10.5 100-meter speed and excellent wiggle.
— Mike Singer (@MikeTSinger) March 30, 2026
— Has been one of Ja'Juan Seider's top targets from the start of the cycle.
— 1,504 yards and with 21 touchdowns as a junior.
— Rogers went nearly 2 years without visiting Notre Dame, but his visit this month was elite. https://t.co/uqPImnu33w
It’s hard not to like what we’ve seen from Rogers, as his track speed translates over to the gridiron. While Massachusetts doesn’t have elite competition, he still put up huge stats in his junior season. Rogers didn’t see much time in South Bend during his recruitment, so you have to give the Notre Dame staff credit for doing a great job in limited time.
