Notre Dame football: Breakout candidates-Offense

Spring Practice is upon us, and the Notre Dame football program has many breakout candidates on both sides of the football to monitor early on.

Depending on what you consider a breakout, there are a handful of guys on Notre Dame’s football team that can be considered – but for this article, a loose interpretation is my criteria. Chase Claypool, Chris Finke, Cole Kmet, and Tony Jones Jr. are all gone from the offense, so there are plenty of shoes to fill in 2020.

Fortunately for the Irish, the receiver/tight end group looks to be in good hands with many former top-notch recruits on the roster ready for the chance – not to mention Notre Dame usually doesn’t have an issue finding a go-to weapon. As for running back, the room seems to be a bit harder to predict for next season, but they have a wealth of guys on the roster.

Here are some key guys to watch in the spring and heading into the fall.
