Notre Dame Names 7 Captains for 2019 Football Season

After one full week of fall camp in 2019, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly has named his captains for the season. Kelly tabbed seven players as captains on Saturday, and the only surprise is that there were no surprises. Every player that was believed to be a captain candidate was selected.

Here’s a quick list of the seven players Notre Dame named captains before a more detailed rundown.

Of the seven, only Hainsey isn’t a senior class wise though both Book and Gilman have eligibility remaining beyond 2019.
