Four-star 2027 quarterback prospect Wonderful Monds IV announced his commitment to Notre Dame on ESPN's Pat McAfee Show Friday afternoon.
Monds, who hails from Vero Beach, Fla, chose the Fighting Irish over Florida State and Ohio State. He ranks as the No. 264 overall prospect and No. 20 quarterback in the 2027 recruiting class in 247Sports' composite rankings after reclassifying from the 2028 class last December.
His most recent recruiting visit was to Notre Dame the weekend of April 18, which was when the Irish convinced him to choose Notre Dame.
At 6-foot-2, 224 pounds, Monds became the starter at Vero Beach (Fla.) High as a freshman in 2024. He has thrown for 2,925 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions across 17 games across the last two games.
With his reclassification, he skips straight to his senior season this fall.
Monds presumably aspires to be a third-generation NFL player. Mario Monds, his father, appeared in seven NFL games as a defensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals (2001) and Miami Dolphins (2004). Wonderful Terrific Monds, Jr., his grandfather, played defensive back for the San Francisco 49ers in 1978.
Notre Dame's 2027 class ranks sixth in the 247Sports rankings with 12 total commits.
