All right, Brian, in part four today's show here on the Irish Breakdown podcast,

0:20.6

brought to by our friends over at Van Duel.

0:22.9

We're continuing the discussion with the Notre Dame cornerbacks, but we're kind of broadening our view,

0:29.6

and we're not just talking about the outlook for the 2026 season.

0:32.8

And I was really excited when you told me that this is what we're talking about today.

0:35.7

So two different topics, but still looking at it from Notre Dame's is what we're talking about today. So two different topics,

0:38.2

but still looking at it from Notre Dame's perspective, we're going to talk about the top 10

0:42.7

cornerbacks at Notre Dame from 2000 to 2025. Now, players like Leonard Moore, Christian Gray,

0:51.2

they're not going to be on this list because their careers at Notre Dame aren't done yet.

0:54.8

And it would be unfair to put them in a ranking spot when they could both be impacted by their performance in 2026.

1:04.0

So we're taking a look of 2000 to 2025 excluding those guys.

1:09.7

Yeah, of guys who've completed their careers. Now, even if we were

1:13.0

including them in this list, Leonard Moore's on here. Like he'd be in our top 10, but we want to let

1:19.6

him, and we'll talk about where Leonard Moore can finish when we're done, but I thought this

1:24.4

would be a fun conversation, Treb. And, you know, Notre Dame's had some some very good corners, but it's a position that they just consistently having to produce, like really the elite players is, is the knock on Notre Dame. But when you look at this list, you're like, yeah, but there's been some really good football players on this list as well. So what we're going to do is they're just going to kind of talk through our list and go 10 to 1 and give our reasons why we are. Then after that, Trev, we will go through and

1:51.4

talk about the guys that are our top five duos from 2020 to 2025. And those in which those,

2:00.6

we will talk about the current players in that regard because

2:03.8

those duos are done.

2:06.2

The 2025 duo can be evaluated for what they were.

2:09.7

The 24 duo can be evaluated for what it was.

2:12.6

And so we'll have that conversation as well, Trev, if we can.

2:17.2

So we're going to go 10 to 1. We'll just go back and forth 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 7. So Trev, we'll let you kick it off. And some of these we have the same. So actually, I'm sitting there actually looking at the list. I'm like, man, actually, we're spot on. Like, nope, I'm looking at my list on the tweet I sent you into my list on my sheet. Like, nope, we're doing on the same page. A lot of the same guys. I think there's only one guy in the two top tens that I don't have or that you have. There's one difference. And I'll talk about why I don't have him. And I know why you don't have him because you didn't see him play. So let's start off with your number 10 cornerback, Trev.
