Notre Dame ended its fall camp portion of the summer this weekend with its latest jersey scrimmage. As the Irish “break camp,” they also named their captains for the 2024 season. The defense dominated the selections, with four defenders—Jack Kiser, Xavier Wats, Rylie Mills, and Benjamin Morrison—and just one offensive player—Riley Leonard—getting a “C” on their jersey this season.
It shouldn’t surprise anyone that the defense is so much more represented than the offense, given all the returning experience and playmaking on that side of the ball. Notre Dame has three new starters on the OL, a totally revamped wide receiver room, a new quarterback, and two new lead backs.
