The images of Ohio State running and passing all over an injury-wracked Irish secondary in the Fiesta Bowl have hardly faded, making the open competitions at the cornerback and safety positions this spring all the more significant. By the end of 2015, Notre Dame’s ranks of defensive backs were so depleted that senior receiver Torii

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,”

When Irish coaches woke up Wednesday morning, they expected to officially add 22 players to their 2016 recruiting class. But by the end of the day, they had 24 — including each in the original 22-player group. In a time when decommitments, especially close to or even on National Signing Day, have become more and

Junior receiver Will Fuller was voted Notre Dame’s MVP at the team’s annual awards banquet Friday at DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.

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

They’re young, relatively speaking. Joe Schmidt and Matthias Farley are both 23-year-old graduate students. They hold degrees from Notre Dame: Farley in film, television and theatre, Schmidt in management-entrepreneurship. Farley owns a dog, Harper. Schmidt co-hosts a radio show. They have played a combined 90 games for Notre Dame. But when they’re waiting around to

Not many would believe a Notre Dame football captain ever walked onto campus his freshman year lacking confidence. Matthias Farley admitted it, though. “I came into Notre Dame very moldable, shapeable and unsure of myself, questioning if I could cut it in school, cut it in football,” Farley said. It seems shocking the 5-foot-11, 210-pound

Early in the fourth quarter of No. 8 Notre Dame’s 24-20 win over No. 23 Temple on Saturday, safety Elijah Shumate was ejected from the contest for targeting, meaning the senior will miss the first half of this Saturday’s matchup at Pittsburgh — a penalty Irish head coach Brian Kelly said was irreversible. “There is no appeal process,” Kelly

PHILADELPHIA — Plagued by injuries, slow starts and surprisingly game opponents, No. 9 Notre Dame has had its fair share of setbacks this season. Saturday night against Temple was no different. Twice in the second quarter, the Irish marched down the field into the Owls red zone. Twice sophomore quarterback DeShone Kizer threw interceptions. The

It’s not often Irish head coach Brian Kelly uses the word “sky-rocketing” to describe one of his players. But that’s exactly what Kelly said when asked about the improvement shown this year by senior safety Elijah Shumate. “Wish I had him for another couple years,” Kelly said. “He’s really coming into his own.” In seven
