One of the most prominent question marks on the Notre Dame defense heading into the spring was the cornerback position with Nick McCloud and Shaun Crawford preparing for the NFL Draft. Clarence Lewis emerged as a freshman, but Tariq Bracy regressed in his junior year. According to Brian Kelly over the weekend, though, the Fighting Irish have a pair of young corners ready to step right in – Ramon Henderson and Cam Hart.
“When you line them up, those two look as good as anybody in the country,” Kelly said of the inexperienced duo. Neither played much in 2020 as Hart was still transitioning to corner and battling through some injuries while Henderson was still acclimating to collegiate football as a true freshman.
