SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - One of the best high school running backs in the country chose Notre Dame over Michigan Saturday. Javian Osborne of Forney, Texas had scholarship offers from Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, Texas and many others, but he had narrowed his choice down to just Notre Dame and Michigan.

Javian Osborne, ESPN's No. 6-ranked running back and its No. 81 prospect overall in the 2026 class, committed to Notre Dame on Saturday.

Javian Osborne has locked in his commitment. Notre Dame edged out Michigan for the blue-chip running back out of Texas, who wanted to commit early and help build the rest of the Irish's star-studded 2026 recruiting class.
