Draft Profile: Bio
Faison arrived at Notre Dame as a top-50 lacrosse recruit and walked on to the football team, then became a two-sport star, scoring in the 2024 national title game for the Irish lacrosse program while emerging as a slot receiver. He had been a multi-sport standout at Pine Crest in South Florida, piling up 1,800 all-purpose yards as a senior. He flashed early on the gridiron, earning Sun Bowl MVP honors with a 115-yard performance.In 2025 Faison led Notre Dame in receiving with 49 catches for 640 yards and four touchdowns across twelve games, dropping just two balls while adding 269 yards after the catch from the slot. He announced he would step away from lacrosse to focus on football for 2026, a sudden, instinctive route runner whose athletic background shows in his change of direction and run-after-catch. The 49-catch season made him the Irish leader despite the dual-sport demands of his lacrosse career.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Sudden slot separator whose two-sport background shows in his agility
- Led Notre Dame with 640 yards while dropping only two passes
- Dangerous after the catch, piled up 269 yards after contact
- Went for 105 yards and a score against Purdue
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Slight frame limits contested work and reps outside the numbers
- Only recently committed full-time to football over lacrosse
- Nearly a pure slot with a still-developing route tree
- Modest deep production, makes most of his living underneath
- Athletic traits are ahead of his receiver refinement
Scouting Report: Summary
Jordan Faison is one of the more unusual profiles in the class, a two-sport star who scored in a national title game for Notre Dame's lacrosse program while leading the football team in receiving. He caught 49 passes for 640 yards and four scores from the slot with just two drops, a sudden separator whose athletic background shows up in his change of direction and 269 yards after the catch. His 105-yard, one-score game against Purdue was the highlight of a productive junior year.The caveats are frame and focus. At a slight build he offers little in contested situations or outside the numbers, his route tree is still developing, and he only recently committed to football full-time over lacrosse. The deep production is modest, so he makes his living underneath, and the athletic traits are ahead of the receiver polish.
He fits a spread offense that wants a quick movement slot and can manufacture him touches. Overall, the hands, quickness and production give him a foundation, and with football now his sole focus, Faison projects as a developmental slot and special-teams contributor whose ceiling depends on how much the route craft grows now that the sport has his full attention. The special-teams value and the unusual two-sport athleticism give him a genuine puncher's chance to stick.
