On Monday Florida 4-Star running back Justin Thurman gave his public commitment to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and its 2025 recruiting class.

Thurman chose the Irish over a respectable early offer list that includes the Auburn Tigers, Iowa Hawkeyes, Tennessee Volunteers, and Florida Gators.

Thurman is the third commitment for Notre Dame’s 2025 recruiting class, and is already the second from the state of Florida.

This is the 2024 scholarship chart (I’ll put 2025’s together sometime this month) but it will still serve well as a guide for 25. You can be 99.9% sure that Estime will jump to the NFL after this season, and Devyn Ford will be out of eligibility — but that still leaves a large handful of running backs for 2025. It’s a long time until then, and more attrition could happen, but the Irish should be signing two running backs a year anyways.
