In a class that returns five total seniors, the Notre Dame football defensive end position should be a place of real strength come 2019.
Returning Okwara and Kareem to the already very formidable Notre Dame defense was a huge win this offseason. Both Julian Okwara and Khalid Kareem had monster seasons and should return to have even better 2019 campaigns. Between the two, they racked up 49 total solo tackles and 31 assisted tackles. Even more impressive is the fact that the duo tallied 22.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks from their respective defensive end positions.
