Xavier Watts continues the strong All-American football tradition at Notre Dame, by becoming a Consensus All-American in 2024. The only outlet dumb enough NOT to have Xavier on its first team, ironically enough, is the FWAA — which is the organization I have a vote with this season. That 2nd team honor kept Watts from being a Unanimous All-American
