The 5-foot-11, 190-pound ball-carrier, rated the No. 1 running back in the West region and the No. 11 running back nationally, is set to announce his decision on CBSSports HQ at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET. on May 26.

Prediction: Director of Recruiting Andrew Nemec provides the latest on Jayden Limar's decision

Limar has not formally named a favorite, but Notre Dame is viewed as the frontrunner for his services.

Notre Dame's 2023 recruiting class is rated No. 1 nationally and already consists of 12 pledges, highlighted by Berkeley Prep (Florida) five-star edge-rusher Keon Keeley, Andrean (Indiana) four-star linebacker Drayk Bowen, Guyer (Texas) four-star safety Peyton Bowen and Stony Point (Texas) four-star safety Braylon James. 

Limar would be the first Washington pledge in the class, but his commitment would mark the second consecutive year the Fighting Irish have secured a bluechip Washington product, joining Union High School star and All-American wide receiver Tobias Merriweather.
