Big things are expected from Notre Dame football this season, and it’s been reflected with multiple preseason honors.
The latest is the Sporting News, as they released its preseason All-American team on Wednesday. The Irish have the second-most players on the list, behind Ohio State with seven. Three of those Notre Dame players listed were on the first-team.
Find out below which members of the Irish were selected and what team they placed on.
The preseason love for Evans continues, as many expect him to bounce back from his season-ending injury last year. He’s expected to be a big part of the Irish offense.
The transfer will have his biggest impact in the return game, as Harrison took two back for touchdowns last year. Harrison is a game-breaker when he has the ball in his hands.
The reigning Bronko Nagurski Award winner burst upon the national scene last year. Watts was exceptional last year and should do the same in this one.
Most likely Morrison’s last season in South Bend, the corner has been dominant since his freshman year. He should be a first-round selection in the NFL draft.
The unsung hero of the defensive line is finally getting some national respect. Cross has been the anchor for Notre Dame and the same is expected this fall.
