‘27 4-star qb teddy jarrard chooses notre dame

Four-star quarterback Teddy Jarrard committed to Notre Dame over finalists Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State. The talented 6-foot-3, 190-pound signal caller from Kennesaw (Ga) North Cobb, was one of just two quarterbacks offered by the Irish along with Peyton Houston from Shreveport, La. Both participated in the Rivals camp in Indianapolis and things seemed to crystalize for both in the aftermath. Jarrard chose the Irish from amongst other finalists Michigan, Clemson, Penn State, and Georgia, while most experts see Houston choosing between Texas, LSU and Oklahoma moving forward.

2027 4-STAR QB TEDDY JARRARD COMMITS TO NOTRE DAME

“Things began to become more clear,” Jarrard said. “There were a couple of schools standing out and then Notre Dame became the best choice, so I decided to make my decision before the season started.”

After an impressive performance at the Rivals camp, Jarrard jumped to No. 52 overall, and ranked as the 2nd quarterback nationally according to Rivals.

“I gained confidence,” Jarrard shared. “I know who I am as a quarterback. I make good, quick decisions and I have a quick release. My job is to win games. I’m excited to start recruiting other great players and get to a couple of games in the fall.”

Jarrard will now turn to leading his Warriors’ teammates to a deeper run in the Georgia state playoffs after a hot 11-0 start ended with disappointment. They began practicing early in the summer, but the excitement is at fever pitch with the squad going “full pads” starting next week.

“We’re going to be good,” Jarrard declared. “Health is going to be the key. If we can stay healthy, we’re going to be really good. We’ve been practicing, but we’re getting ready to go full pads.”

Jarrard is Notre Dame’s third commitment in the Class of 2027, following linebacker Ellis McGaskin (Mobile, Ala.) and long snapper Sean Kraft (Asheville, N.C.).
