Summary

In section one we had a big picture discussion that focused on the unique expectations for this group. For all intents and purposes, Notre Dame will have three new starting linebackers in 2024. There is a lot of talent, but we don't yet know how the unit will come together, or how the rotation will shake out. We also discuss how the performance of the linebackers this year will say a lot about the recruiting and development ability of Marcus Freeman.
