We have a good idea of the situation at most positions for Notre Dame football as kickoff in Miami moves closer. However, another August of mostly closed practices leaves mystery and intrigue surrounding a handful of spots on the roster. The most overwhelmingly public of those being the quarterback position and the massive decision which [...]
The 2025 college football season kicks off in a couple weeks. In case you missed it, we published our pre-season Top 20 rankings HERE that will start as the basis for today's look at the run into the second incarnation of the 12-team playoff. As a reminder, the playoff format remains largely the same from [...]
With a name like that, was there really ever any other option? Notre Dame (probably) put a lovely bow on its 2026 recruiting class today when blue-chip defensive lineman Elijah Golden announced for the Irish. The 6'4", 275-pound Floridian is the 27th and, barring an in-season surprise, very likely the final commitment of the cycle. [...]
I'm going to be real. By mid-season these top 20 posts can become a drag when we're piecing together our own list while the AP, Coach's Poll, and eventually the playoff committee are all converging on their favored teams. But for the pre-season, with the whole season ahead of us and National Championship dreams in [...]
Notre Dame football opened fall camp this past Thursday, July 31st as preparations are underway for the upcoming season of Fighting Irish football. Coming off by far his most successful season, Marcus Freeman has the program rowing together in a positive direction but the national spotlight remains bright on a team that will open 2025 [...]
Football games are coming, but first some practices. It's that time of year when the pads are strapped on, cold tubs are by the ready, and the media wait eagerly to post their Tweets once the workouts are over. In case you missed it, I covered the Notre Dame offense HERE with fall camp just [...]
Notre Dame landed its third and, with all due respect to long snapper Sean Kraft and blue-chip linebacker Ellis McGaskin, loudest commitment of the 2027 cycle today when elite signal-caller Teddy Jarrard announced for the Irish. The 6'3, 200-pound Georgian has a sophomore offer list that's a Who's Who of Power 4 programs and just [...]
Fall camp is just around the corner. With Notre Dame's 2024 season lasting all the way until January 20th it's been the shortest off-season in program history. That's if you don't count the 2nd "season" when the school played Michigan a couple times randomly in March 1888 just 5 months after playing the first football [...]
Last year around this time, I decided to look at the 5 worst Power 4 programs heading into the 2024 season. I was going through our summer content from last year and thought it would be fun to look back on that article and it did not disappoint. To wit, 3 out of last year's [...]
The pump is slowing down as the gas tank nears capacity on Notre Dame's 2026 class with Nick Reddish's announcement of his commitment to the Irish today. The 5'11", 185 pound North Carolinian rounds out the defensive back class, on the heels of the previous commit Brayden Robinson rounding out the wide receiver class. As [...]
Notre Dame put the bow on its 2026 wide receiver class yesterday when Brayden Robinson announced his Irish commitment. The 5'8", 160-pound Texas speedster is the class's fifth wideout and third to commit in as many days. Robinson ran sub-10.6 in the 100M five times as a freshman, with a blazing PR of 10.45, and [...]
Notre Dame recruiting kept its hot streak rolling when receiver Devin Fitzgerald announced his commitment to the Irish on Saturday. The 6'2", 205-pound Arizonan and son of all-time NFL legend Larry Fitzgerald was the second NFL legacy receiver to join the class in a 24 hour period, following Kaydon Finley's July 4th announcement. Fitzgerald also [...]
Notre Dame got the metaphorical fireworks going for Independence Day weekend when high four star receiver Kaydon Finley announced his commitment to the Irish. The 6'2", 195-pound Texan becomes the third receiver in Notre Dame's 2026 class and the third NFL legacy receiver in the last two cycles; his father Jermichael can trade notes with [...]
We've arrived at the last installment in our 0ff-season series taking a look at the quarterback situations at all of Notre Dame's 2025 opponents. If you missed the first 3 articles, I'll link to them below. In today's final post we have perhaps an underrated quarterback in Pittsburgh, a high profile transfer situation in New [...]
Can I please get a damn rest already? I mean come on, this is getting ridiculous... [wipes away crocodile tears] The hottest program in the country added yet another blue chipper today when elite tight end prospect Ian Premer announced his commitment to Notre Dame. The 6'5", 220-pound Kansan is the sixth 2026 commit in [...]
