Kevin Sinclair and Eric Thomas are back for another edition of Irish Illustrated's weekly Tracking the Trail recruiting podcast.

Beyond that handful of prospects, Kevin and Eric tapped into the significant interest generated on the defensive side of the ball in the 2026 cycle, along with a mixture of uncertainty and promise on the offensive side of the ball.
