Though no current Notre Dame players were taken in the opening round of the unprecedented 2020 “virtual” NFL Draft, six now-former Irish players were selected over seven rounds this weekend. While six more Irish athletes who did not hear their names called have signed with teams in the league, a handful of others are still

In 2019, the ever-important tight end position quickly became synonymous with Cole Kmet when he returned from his collarbone injury for the game against Georgia. With new position coach John McNulty taking the reins, the 2020 group will look to match Kmet’s production from last season. Position group: Tight End Depth Chart: freshmen Michael Mayer, Kevin

On a dreary, cold and rainy Palo Alto afternoon, one which held firm expectations of a commanding Irish victory, things began mysteriously for Notre Dame. The defense — the unit which has undergirded this team’s strength all year — gave an underperforming Stanford offense headway which it didn’t particularly deserve. But in the end, it

After Notre Dame’s senior day victory against Boston College, I wrote a column expressing my frustration for the game despite the 40-7 result in Notre Dame’s favor. I’ll be honest, I was looking for a reason to be negative. However, given that is Thanksgiving, I thought I would write this column in the spirit of

Senior wide receiver Chase Claypool has been part of a Notre Dame football class that has had a unique run. Their freshman year was a 4-8 disaster that saw both coordinators get fired and Brian Kelly pushed to the brink of his job. In the two years since, the team has been in constant College

Duke head coach David Cutcliffe addressed the media Tuesday ahead of the Blue Devils’ game against the Irish on Saturday. Duke is an eight-point underdog at home, and Cutcliffe has high expectations for Irish head coach Brian Kelly’s squad. “They are really big and powerful, but at the same time have a lot of people

Last week against Michigan, the Notre Dame offensive line was, to put it bluntly, horrible. The unit lost senior offensive lineman Tommy Kraemer early in the first quarter to a season-ending injury, and they didn’t look the same afterwards. All in all, a poorly played contest for the Irish. Heading into this week, Kraemer was
