Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 85 Holden Staes, sophomore tight end, up 20 pounds in a year
Listed measurements: 6-foot-4 ¼, 242 pounds. 2023-24 year, eligibility: A sophomore, Staes has three seasons of eligibility remaining. Depth Chart: Staes was one of just two tight ends healthy this spring, along with junior starter Mitchell Evans. Staes may be jumped by classmate Eli Raridon once the latter is fully recovered from an October ACL tear, but it is more likely Staes’ health keeps him as Notre Dame’s No. 2 tight end in 2023. Recruiting: The recruiting rankings industry can be hard to understand. Staes signed with the Irish in December of 2021 as the No. 23 tight end in the class, turning down offers from Alabama, his homestate power Georgia and Texas. He had previously broken a six-month commitment to Penn State, one made in the midst of the recruiting dead period in the pandemic.
Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 86 Cooper Flanagan, incoming freshman tight end, four-star recruit
Listed measurements: 6-foot-6, 240 pounds 2023-24 year, eligibility: An incoming freshman, Flanagan has all four seasons of eligibility remaining. Depth Chart: Notre Dame stockpiles tight ends, meaning Flanagan will be on the scout team this entire fall, with four names ahead of him on the depth chart. Even if injuries plague the Irish tight ends again, two would need to be out for the season for Flanagan to sniff any version of genuine playing time. Recruiting: A consensus four-star prospect and the No. 17 tight end in the class, per rivals.com, Flanagan did not pay attention to offers from Alabama, LSU or Michigan after he committed to the Irish 15 months before he could sign his National Letter of Intent. From an Oakland suburb, he also spurned Cal, Utah and Oregon.
