This Spring Notre Dame is tasked with replacing several leaders and crucial players from the 2018 season. Fortunately, a large nucleus of players will be returning from a team that finished 12-1. Each Spring brings turnover from the year before via the NFL, transfers, and eligibility. Irish fans will see several new faces emerge this spring.
Spring practices will help develop the next group of elite Notre Dame Football players. As Irish fans witnessed last year, no one is guaranteed a starting spot from game to game. Brandon Wimbush was the clear starter heading into last season, until Ian Book was given an opportunity against Wake Forest and he never looked back.
