So as we've been doing with our positional breakdowns and, you know, our positional previews, our next section here in section number two is what we know and what we don't know.

And, you know, there's obviously a lot of what we do know based on the guys that are coming back, the guys that have decided to come back.

I mean,

you have got some absolute stars in Benjamin Morrison and Xavier Watt.

Those are your only two returning starters in the secondary.

And thank goodness,

Xavier Wats decided to come back.

I will just say that because he,

otherwise Notre Dame,

would be looking at four out of the five new faces on in the secondary. And I love the fact

that the reigning defensive player of the year nationally decided to come back to Notre Dame and

really hone in his craft. And so, you know, we know who Benjamin Morrison is.

We know who Xavier Watts is. They're preseason all Americans. These are the guys that are the leaders

on this defense in this secondary, on this team, frankly, as well. And I mentioned it in our

practice report yesterday, just watching Xavier Watts go through, you know,

even just drills and things like that. He just has an ease about him. You know, you can just tell

mentally he's in a good place. You can just tell that physically he knows where he's supposed to be.

He's doing what he's supposed to do.

I mean, this is, I mean, I don't want to say this is his victory lap at Notre Dame because that's not really the right connotation that I want to make, you know, that I want to spin on it.

But this is the first time really in his career that he is the most settled and the most just hey this is who

I am this is where I'm going to be this is where I've excelled and I'm going to continue to

excel in this position and I'm a leader on this team like you can just see it in the way
