Brian Bonner Jr., a Four-Star RB from Santa Clarita, CA, has narrowed down his college choices to UCLA, Washington, Penn State, Nebraska, and Notre Dame. Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 190 pounds, Bonner is ranked as the No. 4 RB in the 2026 class by On3 and the No. 105 overall prospect nationally by 247Sports Composite Rankings. He has scheduled official visits to all five finalists, with Notre Dame being his last stop starting on June 20th.
Notre Dame's recruiting efforts for the 2026 class have gained momentum, with Bonner being the latest high-level prospect to show interest in the program. The Irish, who have yet to secure a commitment at the running back position for the upcoming class, have the opportunity to make a strong impression on Bonner during his visit to South Bend. Bonner's decision could potentially bolster Notre Dame's recruiting success following their recent strong performance in the College Football Playoff.
