Notre Dame football has started its spring practices and lucky for us, a portion of it was open to the media.
Many went to social sites to share what they saw, as we already highlighted running back Jeremiyah Love getting some reps with the wide receivers. This is the kind of tinkering that you love to see from Notre Dame, as they try to get the ball in the hands of its best playmakers.
They are also figuring out which offensive line combination will work the best for this coming season, along with which true freshman and transfers can make a mark. Check out below some of the practice footage that was shared on social media.
You have to believe that the Alabama transfer will get plenty of opportunities to crack the starting lineup. Getting extra work with one of the coaches show that the Irish are high on Smith and believe he can make an impact this fall.
This was one of the players that many wondered where he would land, and although Jagusah is considered an offensive tackle, the Irish won’t be afraid to move him to the interior like they did in the Orange Bowl. Now is the perfect time to see if Jagusah has what it takes to play guard on a full-time basis.
Building cohesion on the line is extremely important, and while it can be done during the season, during the spring is the more ideal timeline. Communication between the line is huge, if it’s picking up a blitz or knowing when to disengage from a double-team and getting to the second level. There is no doubt in my mind that Notre Dame will once again have an impressive offensive line unit.
Tight ends are just as important as the offensive line when it comes to blocking, and it looks like this Irish group has what it takes to help open holes for the backs and protect the quarterback.
The most highly anticipated spring competition is all about this group, as whoever will take the reins will have massive expectations. In my eyes it’s a two person race, with CJ Carr and Steve Angeli being the top options. You can’t discount Kenny Minchey either, but regardless of who wins, they’ll have an elite offensive line and running backs to help ease the transition from Riley Leonard.
This is a perfect headline, as every Marcus Freeman led team has shown plenty of grit, along with resilience. The 2025 Notre Dame team should be in contention for another berth into the College Football Playoff. Those are now the base expectations for the Irish.
Now former Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard just can’t stay away from the program
Is Notre Dame star RB Jeremiyah Love taking his game to another level this spring?
