Notre Dame football will have plenty of scouts watching its season opener

It’s obvious that fans of Notre Dame football and Texas A&M alike are excited about the game on Saturday night. However, it turns out that it’s not just the fans, players and coaches that are looking forward to seeing these two teams lace it up. 

It turns out that the game, played in front of 100,000 fans is also going to be played in front of quite a few NFL scouts. That’s hardly surprising considering just how many players in this contest will eventually be playing at the next level in the next few years.

According to Jack Soble of On3 Sports, scouts from 14 teams will be in attendance Saturday night in College Station.

The Bears, Bills, Browns, Colts, Dolphins, Eagles, Giants, Jaguars, Packers, Panthers, Patriots, Saints, Seahawks, and Texans are all slated to have scouts in attendance.

Notre Dame football will play season opener in front of several NFL scouts

With Notre Dame having so many projected 2025 NFL draft picks as many just about anyone short of Georgia or Ohio State, it's obvious that teams will be keeping a watchful eye on the Irish all season. 

Texas A&M is no slouch as either as it looks to see some of its incredibly talented recruiting classes in recent years take a big step in development and show off their NFL potential this fall.

With so many eyes on the Notre Dame football team, there’s an opportunity for guys like Riley Leonard, Howard Cross, Xavier Watts, and Benjamin Morrison to really help their prospects.
