Four-star wide receiver Kaydon Finley has committed to Notre Dame's 2026 recruiting class.
He is the son of former NFL tight end Jermichael Finley, who played his college ball at Texas before being selected by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He spent all six of his NFL seasons with Green Bay, winning a Super Bowl.
Kaydon Finley is ranked by the 247Sports composite as the No. 14 wide receiver in the 2026 class and the No. 15 player in prospect-rich Texas.
He plays at Aledo High School and tallied 81 receptions for 1,432 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2024. He had nine 100-yard games.
Finley took an official visit to his father's alma mater two weeks ago. He also made official trips to Texas A&M, Louisville and Arizona State, as well as Notre Dame.
Notre Dame's 2026 schedule shows the first possible game Finley could play with the Irish would be Sept. 6 against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, home of the Packers.
247Sports projects that the Irish will land the commitment of another NFL legacy this weekend -- Devin Fitzgerald, the son of former Arizona Cardinals great Larry Fitzgerald.
The younger Fitzgerald is a three-star receiver from Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix. His father played at Pitt.
Notre Dame's 2026 class currently is ranked No. 3 by the 247Sports composite, trailing Southern California and Georgia. It is anchored by a pair of five-star prospects -- edge Rodney Dunham of Charlotte, N.C., and safety Joey O'Brien of Pennsylvania.
