Notre Dame Football: Five Elite Athletes Who Will Oppose the Irish This Year

Here are five outstanding talents who are expected to play against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish this fall.

Thomas is the Georgia Bulldogsfirst returning All-America offensive lineman in more than 20 years and will be the foundation of the Bulldogs’ offensive attack in 2019.

The 6-foot-5, 320 pound junior is considered the second best overall prospect by CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso, fifth overall by both Sporting News’ Bill Bender and USA Today’s Luke Easterling, 13th overall by Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller and the 15th overall pick in the way-too-early 2020 NFL Draft by NBC Sports’ Ben Standig.
