Pot of Gold Day: Notre Dame offers 2026 WR Dylan Faison, brother of Jordan Faison
The Notre Dame football program offered the brother of wide receiver Jordan Faison on Sunday. Boca Raton (Fla.) Saint Andrew’s School sophomore Dylan Faison reported a scholarship offer from the Fighting Irish on Pot of Gold Day.
Notre Dame is the first school to offer Dylan, a 2026 class wide receiver and defensive back. The Irish scout him as an offensive prospect.
Like his older brother, Dylan is an outstanding football and lacrosse player. On the gridiron, he caught 18 passes for 480 yards (26.7 yards per catch) and 8 touchdowns in 2023, according to MaxPreps. He is also a dynamic punt returner who racked up 61 yards on three plays. In four charted defensive games, he had 20 tackles and an interception.
In 12 lacrosse games this spring, he has 50 goals and 26 assists, leading his team to an 11-1 record. USA Lacrosse Magazine named Dylan an All-American as a freshman. Jordan was also an All-American last spring. Dylan attended Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Pine Crest, the school that produced Jordan.
On Wednesday, USA Lacrosse Magazine recognized Dylan in its High School Boys’ Players of the Week section for a notable performance.
Like his football recruitment, Dylan does not report any lacrosse offers. Still, he told the South Florida Sun Sentinel last spring he was interested in Notre Dame, North Carolina, Virginia, Duke and Michigan.
Notre Dame 2026 WR target Dylan Faison has exciting potential if he is anything like Jordan Faison
In October 2021, Jordan verbally committed to the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse program. That was in the middle of a junior football season, in which he contributed to the team as a dual-threat quarterback. Jordan completed 16-30 pass attempts for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Jordan was also an electric ball carrier as a junior. He had 89 carries for 409 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and 5 touchdowns. It paved the way for a special senior season that caught the attention of Power Five football programs.
In his final high school season, Jordan finished with 1,661 yards and 9 touchdowns on 143 carries (11.6 yards per carry). He picked up a full-ride football scholarship from Iowa and received interest from Mississippi State, Penn State, UCF, UCLA and Yale. However, Jordan turned them all away to eventually commit to the Notre Dame football program as a PWO on Nov. 9, 2022.
Jordan was a surprise breakout player for the Irish in 2023. After being on the scout team until October, the Irish called him into action because of depleted wide receiver depth. In 7 games, he had 19 receptions for 322 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Jordan capped off his freshman campaign with a 5-catch, 115-yard performance that included a touchdown in a 40-8 victory over Oregon State in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. In the first five games of his men’s lacrosse season, he has 10 goals and an assist.
