One of the more frustrating situations to watch unfold in regard to Notre Dame football over the last couple of years is the saga of tight end Alizé Mack. The 6-5, 245-pound tight end is both physically and athletically everything you could ever want at the position. He simply has not lived up to his potential in South Bend — on or off the field.
Heading into 2018 Mack will have every opportunity to seize the starting tight end role and put up some pretty decent stats. He will be challenged by some up-and-coming talent on the depth chart behind him, but if he can stay out of trouble and healthy throughout the Spring and Summer, Mack should be a sure thing in the Irish starting lineup come Fall.
