Where Will Notre Dame Find Safety Depth?

When former 4-star safety Derrik Allen decided to transfer to Georgia Tech earlier this week, it officially created depth concerns at safety for Notre Dame in 2019 and beyond. The Irish are, without doubt, stacked with Alohi Gilman and Jalen Elliott in the starting lineup, but they might need to manufacture depth for this fall and prepare their replacements in 2020.

Elliott is out of eligibility after 2019, and while Alohi Gilman has eligibility for 2020, most believe that he will head to the NFL with a big season instead of returning for a 5th year.
