The strength that pushed Notre Dame to a Playoff berth is back if looking at only the statistics. Most of the sacks and tackles for loss from the Irish defensive line returned, but things will be far from that simple in 2019, and one of the biggest questions of the entire spring roster will underscore that.
Spring roster of defensive ends:
— Starting senior ends Julian Okwara and Khalid Kareem.
— Backup senior ends Daelin Hayes and Ade Ogundeji.
— Unproven depth in sophomore Justin Ademilola, junior Kofi Wardlow and senior former-linebacker Jamir Jones.
