Ogundeji primed to make most of year as captain

Charlotte Edmonds | Friday, December 18, 2020

For the past three years, defensive end Ade Ogundeji has quietly built up more playing time and proven himself as an anchor to the Irish defense. Now — with former co-captains Julian Okwara and Khalid Kareem having departed for the NFL — Ogundeji, the one-time Western Michigan recruit, is prepared to step into the limelight.

New captain Hayes credits faith, teammates after returning from injury

Jimmy Ward | Friday, December 18, 2020

Adams: The defining moments of Notre Dame’s 2019 football season

Hayden Adams | Friday, September 11, 2020

A football season is made up of moments — moments which stick in the minds of fans and linger with them until they are, usually, consigned to history and replaced by moments of the next year. Some moments get overlooked but are still important for their context within a game, a season or a program

Position group breakdown: Defensive line

Observer Sports Staff | Thursday, April 2, 2020

Notre Dame’s 2020 defensive line will be vastly different than the 2019 unit. The Irish graduated three starters, who combined for 90 tackles and 15 sacks. The players that remain on their depth chart are talented, but it will be very difficult for the team to replace the elite level of production it got from

Adams: Why senior day win over Boston College was infuriating

Hayden Adams | Sunday, November 24, 2019

It’s not that the offense was incredibly meandering to start the game, putting up only 16 points and needing a questionable defensive pass interference with six seconds remaining to put them in range of their third field goal of the first half. It’s not redshirt freshman quarterback Phil Jurkovec’s apparent obsession with running the ball

Adetokunbo Ogundeji puts up record night in win over Boston College

Jimmy Ward | Saturday, November 23, 2019

Irish senior defensive lineman Adetokunbo Ogundeji didn’t become a starter on the Notre Dame football squad until last year. When Ogundeji enrolled at Notre Dame, he was just 17 years old.
