Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 72 Sam Pendleton, early-enrolled freshman offensive lineman
Listed measurements: 6-foot-4 ⅛, 300 pounds 2023-24 year, eligibility: An early-enrolled freshman, Pendleton has all four seasons of eligibility remaining. Depth Chart: Zeke Correll has had a long-term stranglehold on the center position at Notre Dame since he arrived in 2019. He had to wait behind and then work around Jarrett Patterson, but that aside, no one arriving in South Bend has had a genuine chance at playing center since Correll’s first days on campus. Hence, junior Pat Coogan dabbled at guard this spring. All that said, Pendleton is far enough behind Correll in years that he could have reason to genuinely focus on working at center, regardless of if he is on the second string or the third string this season.
