Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 90 Brenan Vernon, incoming freshman defensive end, four-star recruit
Listed measurements: 6-foot-5, 259 pounds 2023-24 year, eligibility: An incoming freshman, Vernon has all four seasons of eligibility remaining. Depth Chart: Alexander Ehrensberger’s retirement from football to head back to Germany to start his career in the medical profession could have elevated Vernon into the three-deep at “Big” end. “Three-deep” may not be a typical term, but along the defensive line, it carries pertinence. Recruiting: A consensus four-star prospect and the No. 8 strongside defensive end in the class of 2023, per rivals.com, Vernon committed to Notre Dame nearly 18 months before he could actually sign with the Irish. An All-American, he never wavered from that commitment, not even when homestate power Ohio State came calling. Particularly along the defensive line, that is not a recruiting battle Notre Dame wins all that often.

Archer is suffering from a stress fracture in his right elbow. He had not played Test Cricket since February 2021.
