The Notre Dame Fighting Irish move ever closer to the start of the 2025 season, and as the team gets closer, it keeps getting more honors. On Monday, those honors included two players getting named to the Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List in Leonard Moore and Drayk Bowen.
Neither Moore nor Bowen being named to the list should be a surprise. The award honors the most outstanding defensive player in college football. Both Moore and Bowen have been mentioned numerous times as players who could break out in a big way in 2025. Both had great 2024 seasons and are looking for more.
