5 things Notre Dame football fans should be thankful for in 2021
True Freshmen
The Notre Dame football program has some special draft classes coming in both 2022 and 2023, and while the 2023 class only has a few names, they are big ones. The 2022 class has some of the best players in the country and will end up being a top-5 class, this thanks to the job of Brian Kelly and his staff.
The 2021 class was not supposed to have a major impact this season, outside of maybe quarterback Tyler Buchner, but they have been coming on as of late. Logan Diggs looks like a star running the football, Lorenzo Styles Jr. can take the lid off a defense, and Audric Estime looked like a monster in the backfield against Virginia.
On defense, we have yet to see the emergence of a true star, though Prince Kollie should be an elite linebacker moving forward for this program. Overall, this was a great effort from this recruiting class, one that is going to help lead this program to a possible national title shortly.
