Amon-Ra St. Brown, Wide Receiver

The St. Brown name is certainly familiar to Irish fans. Amon-Ra is brother to Notre Dame’s former wide receiver, Equanimeous. With 50 receptions on the year, St. Brown is statistically the top target of Daniels. St. Brown has accumulated 656 reception yards and has scored 3 touchdowns on the year.

While these numbers are fairly modest, he has played an integral role in making Daniels feel comfortable behind center. St. Brown has been the guy that Daniels has gone to throughout the duration of the year as he attempts to garner any consistency on offense.

If the Irish defense can neutralize this favorite target of Daniels, he will be forced to have to go to receivers in whom he is less confident. This could spell trouble for a freshman quarterback who has yet to play in a rivalry game of this magnitude.
