Brian, let's talk about the future at linebacker here in the Notre Dame Pirate

Irish Breakdown podcast, brought you by our friends over at Fandoul.

And here's this situation that Notre Dame's linebacker room is in.

Regardless of our feelings about the room this year,

Drake Bowen and Jalen Sneed, barring any crazy season ending injury,

is done after the 2026 season.

And that's where they're at.

Or that five-for-five rule is enacted and Drake decides to stay in college.

I don't think he would do.

I think he'd still go pro.

Agreed.

But yes, as of the way the rules are right now,

they're both done no matter what, barring in a major injury.

Now, one of the things that spring training showed us

is that the future at linebacker is still very bright.

And things will have to be done on the recruiting trail.

We'll get into that conversation here in a little bit. but just from some of the players that we saw last season and the players that we got to see this spring, some and more limited views than others, the future of the lineback room is still bright. Yeah, I mean, even, you've got, obviously, Kingston has a chance to come back in 2027. Jaden Alisbury could come back in 2027.

But when you look at the future, the linebacker position, it's kind of interesting because

there's a guy we left out of the conversation we just had, intentionally.

And it's mad for Amo because we are looking at the four vets, right?

The junior seniors and then the junior, the two fifth year seniors and or the two,

the junior, I'm going to get it right, third time to term.
