Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 29 Matt Salerno, senior punt returner, walk-on

Formerly No. 32, hence the above photo from the 2020 season, taken at Boston College in November.
Listed measurements: 6-foot u215d, 196 pounds.
2021-22 year, eligibility: A senior academically, Salerno has three seasons of eligibility remaining, though it is hard to imagine a walk-on sticking around to use them all.
Depth Chart: Salerno took over at punt returner last season when running back Kyren Williams became the offense’s workhorse, then-freshman running back Chris Tyree was not yet comfortable snagging punts, and receiver Lawrence Keys coughed up a return against Florida State in the red zone.
