In an offseason full of change for the Notre Dame offense, one position that isn’t going to be seeing a ton of it is at running back. The top three backs return for Tommy Rees’s crew and it will surely be considered the strongest position going into the 2021 season.
What Notre Dame has coming back, coming in, and going out is straightforward, but lets go over each and figure out exactly what Notre Dame is working with in the backfield in 2021.
Running Backs Out
- Jafar Armstrong: 135 carries, 513 yards, 30 receptions, 294 yards, nine total touchdowns
- Jahmir Smith: 53 carries, 223 yards, 3 receptions, 26 yards, two total touchdowns
It was quite the rollercoaster career for Armstrong at Notre Dame.
