Mandatory Credit: Maria Lysaker-Imagn Images Notre Dame received a commitment Tuesday from four-star offensive lineman Ben Nichols of Davison, Mich.
The 6-foot-5, 315-pound prospect is ranked as the nation's No. 16 interior lineman in the Class of 2026 by the 247Sports composite. He is the No. 3 recruit in the state of Michigan.
Nichols chose coach Marcus Freeman's Fighting Irish over Tennessee, Penn State and Wisconsin.
"Historically they're the best offensive line program anyone can go with," Nichols told On3.
"... I love the coaches. Coach Freeman, Coach (Joe) Rudolph, all those guys are really cool. Great academic school as well. Those are the top factors that stuck out to me."
Nichols is the third four-star commitment for Notre Dame's 2026 class, joining linebacker Thomas Davis (Matthews, N.C.) and quarterback Noah Grubbs (Lake Mary, Fla.).
