The tight end position at Notre Dame has long been one that’s seen talented athletes deliver for the Irish and then move on to the NFL. It’s happened six times in the Brian Kelly era, with multiple players this season potentially becoming the seventh player on that list. In this year’s camp, the Cole Kmet injury to his collarbone has opened up a major opportunity for redshirt freshman Tommy Tremble to become the latest success story.
Tremble doesn’t have a clear path to the starting role for the opener at Louisville, especially given the presence of an experienced hand like Brock Wright, who has two years worth of game experience.
