Heading into the 2018 season, if there was one obvious weakness on the Notre Dame defensive roster, it was at Rover. Bilal was the presumptive starter there after Drue Tranquill moved over to the Buck linebacker position prior to spring practice kicking off. Subsequently, the Rover position was seen as a big question mark heading into the season; Bilal had never been particularly impressive, and those vying for his spot have yet to see game action. Adding to the uncertainty was the fact that whoever won the job would be replacing the production of Tranquill, who was excellent in 2017.
