Aneyas Williams is already emerging as a leader for the Notre Dame football team. With Jadarian Price and Jeremiyah Love gone, the running back wants to be "the man" for the offense. After the Blue-Gold game on Saturday, he demonstrated that even if he isn't the main man for the Irish backfield, he's leading off the field.
While the Irish offense was far from as sharp as offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock wanted them to be, there were still plenty of highlights that showed just how good the squad can be in 2026. It's also worth noting that it's possible, considering the spring game was 1's vs 1's that Chris Ash's defense is simply good enough that he can knock CJ Carr and Co. off track.
Aneyas Williams knows the real obstacle Notre Dame must avoid
After the second big scrimmage and the official end of spring practice, the Notre Dame running back summed up nicely what he believes will be the biggest obstacle for his squad this fall and winter.
"Ourselves," Williams stated in the most succinct way possible.
The hype can't get in the way of Notre Dame football doing its job
The Notre Dame running back isn't the first player to pinpoint the one thing that could stand in the way of a team that looks like the most talented team in the country. Earlier this spring, defensive back Leonard Moore said something similar, if not identical.
He talked about how the Fighting Irish can't allow the hype of the offseason affect how they play in the regular season. It's clear that the message the coaches and the team in general are trying to pass on has taken root. Now it's time for Aneyas Williams and the rest of the Notre Dame squad to follow through and stay focused.
