Rodney Dunham is Notre Dame’s highest-upside edge commit — explosive, polished, and already production-backed
Dunham is a **five-star EDGE** and one of the nation’s top pass-rush prospects, with rankings ranging from **No. 8 overall in the 2026 class** to a consensus top-50 profile across major services. In 2025, he produced **42 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 8 sacks, 36 QB hurries and 1 forced fumble**, showing why evaluators love his burst, length and closing speed. His differentiators are a quick first step, disruptive finesse rushing and the ability to affect plays even when offenses scheme away from him; the main fit question is whether he continues adding mass and power after a knee injury in 2024.
