Class of 2025 four-star quarterback Blake Herbert has invested its commitment to Notre Dame of Clemson. He announced his release from the Tigers on Monday night via social media.
“I would like to start by thanking the Clemson coaching staff, as well as the program itself, for everything they have done for me,” Hebert said in a statement he posted on X (formerly Twitter). “That being said, I have decided to withdraw my commitment and will spend my next 4 years at another institution. Romans 8:18.”
Minutes later, Hebert posted a commitment graphic to the Fighting Irish.
Hebert, who currently attends Brunswick School in Greenwich, Connecticut, originally committed to Clemson in June 2023.
Notre Dame recently lost his 2025 quarterback promise in Deuce Knightwho originally committed to the Fighting Irish in September 2023, but switched to Chestnut on October 2.
Knight’s move to Auburn meant Notre Dame needed to find a replacement ahead of the rapidly approaching early signing period for the 2025 class on Dec. 4, and the Fighting Irish found their man in Hebert.
Two of Hebert’s high school teammates: four-star offensive tackle Matty Agustin and four star security Ethan Long – are currently committed to Notre Dame.
Hebert ranks as the No. 3 prospect in the state of Connecticut and the No. 17 pro-style quarterback in the 2025 cycle.
