This series, obviously, focuses on the spring, but those 15 practices, beginning March 5, will not include the one tight end expected to carry Notre Dame’s “TE U” banner into the future. Thus, please understand the following words do not focus on Michael Mayer.
His time will come, especially thanks to Cole Kmet’s jump to the NFL, but before Mayer can vault from recruiting hype to realized headline, a couple other Irish tight ends will jockey for the starting role heading into the preseason.
Spring roster, in order of eligibility remaining:
— Rising senior Brock Wright, in his final year.
