The Notre Dame football team certainly has some question marks throughout their roster heading into the 2018 season. Losing two All-Americans on the offensive line, including three other offensive starters is difficult. Add three more lost starters on defense, and it gets a little more challenging. Sprinkle in the dismissals of wide receiver Kevin Stepherson and running backs Deon McIntosh and C.J. Holmes, and you’re now looking at some major holes to fill.
Fortunately, the Irish are returning some key players that are expected to have an impact on Saturdays this Fall. Sam Mustipher, Julian Love, Shaun Crawford, Drue Tranquill, Jerry Tillery, Te’von Coney — and of course Justin Yoon — are all expected to perform at a high level this year.
