No position group looks as good on paper as the Notre Dame wide receivers. They boast three top 100 talents, six four stars, and diverse skill sets. There is so much to work with and the early returns on this group in the spring have been positive.
But, when digging into the position, it is ripe with risk and downside. It is a group without any juniors and plenty of injury history. The potential star of the group, Kevin Austin, has played in two games since 2018 due to suspension and multiple breaks in his foot. Braden Lenzy has dealt with hamstring issues as well as concussions, and Lawrence Keys fell victim to COVID protocols last season.
