Last season did not go to plan, as injuries at Quarterback and on the Offensive Line plagued the offense all season. Now, Grimes will look to get the Badgers offense back to their old hard-nosed identity, featuring a plethora of transfers including a dual-threat QB.

As is almost tradition, Notre Dame will walk into the 2026 season with a strong tight end room that could become elite, with the exciting talent already realized and some yet to reveal itself.

Three former Notre Dame players have been selected to the “NFL Top 100” list, selected by the players.

To pair with an elite QB like CJ Carr, Notre Dame may finally have the wide receiver group to put real fear into opponents, thanks to returning talent and exciting newcomers.
