Position Group Linebacker is one of Notre Dame’s strongest position groups. Headlined by consensus All-American Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, their stout defensive efforts, both on the pass-rush and in coverage, was critical to the Irish’s success in the 2020 season. But with the departure of both Owusu-Koramoah and defensive coordinator Clark Lea, the linebacker position will look
