Nation’s No. 3 WR schedules Notre Dame spring visit
Ellenwood (Ga.) Cedar Grove class of 2026 wide receiver Devin Carter tweeted out his spring unofficial visit schedule Tuesday afternoon, and it includes a trip to Notre Dame.
It’ll be his first visit to South Bend. The elite prospect will check out campus April 6.
Carter announced that he received an offer from the Fighting Irish on March 17 for Pot of Gold day, which was the Notre Dame staff’s recruiting event to essentially kick off their efforts in the 2026 class.
The Augusta, Ga. native added that he’s also taking the trips to the following schools: Georgia March 26, Alabama March 28, Central Florida March 29, Miami March 30, Florida State April 1, LSU April 2, Texas A&M April 3, Texas April 4, Oklahoma April 5 and Ohio State April 8.
It’s quite the busy travel schedule for Carter, but getting the 6-0, 165-pounder on campus is quite the big first step in Notre Dame’s pursuit of him.
Carter ranks as the nation’s No. 22 overall player and No. 3 wide receiver in the land according to the 2026 On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 6 player from the state of Georgia.
According to On3’s own rankings, Carter checks in as the No. 38 recruit and No. 5 wide receiver nationally, plus the No. 6 prospect from the Peach State.
“The thing about me is that I’m an all-around player,” Carter said. “I know how to run every route and I do it great and consistently. I feel like I’m a good deep ball threat and I’m a good route runner also. I’m a deep threat that can score on any deep ball you throw me.”
Moving forward, Carter is looking to improve his “fast-twitch” and get more explosive. He’s looking for a wide receiver coach that can develop him into a pro.
“I’m just looking for a receiver coach that develops receivers, puts all their talent on tape, and sends people to the NFL Combine to show out,” he said. “I want to be one of those people and hopefully be a first-round pick.”
His father, Dexter, played in the NFL as a running back for the San Fransisco 49ers (1990-94, 96-96) and the New York Jets (1995). He was with the 49ers when they won Super Bowl XXIX. One of his teammates that championship season? Notre Dame legend Bryant Young.
The Irish currently have one receiver commitment in the 2026 class in Sunshine State athlete Dylan Faison.
