Notre Dame Football: A look at the safety position in 2020

As expected, Notre Dame lost both of their starters at safety when Alohi Gilman and Jalen Elliott to the NFL draft this past week.

There was an outside chance that Gilman would stay for a fifth year at Notre Dame, but the Hawaiian made it very clear when he transferred from Navy that he wanted to play in the NFL, and now he is getting his opportunity after he was drafted in the sixth round by the Chargers.

Gilman and Elliott were pivotal in how well the Notre Dame defense has played over the past two seasons.
