Notre Dame football could light up the Fourth of July weekend with a string of wide receiver commitments. Three Fighting Irish recruiting targets are set to announce where they will play their college football.

A trio of highly touted pass-catchers Kaydon Finley, Devin Fitzgerald and Brayden Robinson will reveal their decisions on July 4, 5 and 6, respectively. Here is how you can tune in to each prospect’s ceremony.

How to watch Devin Fitzgerald’s commitment

Fitzgerald plans to publicize his pledge on the 247Sports YouTube channel on Saturday, July 5 at 7 p.m. ET. The Phoenix Brophy College Prep senior’s finalists are Notre Dame, Clemson, Stanford and UCLA. The 6-2, 185-pounder Fitzgerald’s recruitment has received a lot of attention because he is the son of legendary NFL wide receiver, Larry Fitzgerald. 

On3 | Rivals currently rates Devin as a three-star prospect and as the No. 14 recruit in Arizona and No. 150 wide receiver nationally in the 2026 class. However, do not be surprised if he climbs the rankings when they’re updated on Monday. On3 | Rivals director of scouting and rankings Charles Power named Fitzgerald a “stock up” riser this off-season.
