Fans of last year’s Notre Dame team will have fond memories of the 2015 receiving corps.

Entering spring practices however, one thing is

17 former Irish players participated in Notre Dame’s Pro Day in front of scouts from 31 NFL teams Thursday at Loftus Sports Center. Of the 17 participants, a handful — including offensive linemen Ronnie Stanley and Nick Martin, linebacker Jaylon Smith and receiver Will Fuller — are projected to be first-round or second-round draft picks. “[It’s] great,”

BOSTON — No. 4 Notre Dame faced Boston College in a game held at Fenway Park on Saturday night, the first time football has been played in the shadow of the Green Monster since 1968. And yet, that wasn’t even close to the strangest part of the 19-16 Irish win. The Irish (10-1) turned the

BOSTON — For the first time this season, Will Fuller wasn’t just held in check. He was positively neutralized. The junior receiver has had worse statistical outings.

Notre Dame needed to win this one, and not just to keep its slim hopes of making the College Football Playoff alive. On home turf under the lights in prime time, playing against not just any rival, but the biggest rival that was also reeling after a coaching fiasco in the week leading up to it,

It’s a Wednesday evening in the middle of midterms week for Notre Dame students, the time of year right before a much-needed fall break finally arrives, and Will Fuller has places to be. The junior receiver just wrapped up practice days before his team’s biggest rival comes to town, but he still has to take

CLEMSON, South Carolina — For three quarters, it looked like Notre Dame’s undefeated season was unquestionably over. Trailing 21-3, the No. 15 Irish (4-1) had looked like anything but a team that was capable of handling No. 6 Clemson’s stout rush defense, Death Valley and Hurricane Joaquin’s unrelenting deluge. That’s when sophomore quarterback DeShone Kizer found

Over the past couple seasons, Irish quarterbacks have found a bevy of targets for their throws. Junior Will Fuller certainly has hit his stride in the open field and found end zone plenty of times, but he’s far from the only option offered, with graduate student Amir Carlisle, senior Chris Brown and juniors Torii Hunter
