Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 93 Armel Mukam, incoming freshman defensive end, former Stanford commit

Listed measurements: 6-foot-4, 250 pounds 2023-24 year, eligibility: An incoming freshman, Mukam has all four seasons of eligibility remaining. Depth Chart: When Notre Dame signs a player it fully expects to be a long-term project, shoehorning him into the depth chart is an unnecessary chore. Mukam should fit into the “Big” end pecking order someday, but that day will not come in 2023. Recruiting: Mukam had been committed to Stanford for about two months when the Irish offered him a scholarship shortly after five-star end Keon Keeley de-committed from Notre Dame. Mukam soon flipped to the Irish, also ignoring scholarship offers from Cal, North Carolina and Virginia Tech.

Leftovers & Links: On Notre Dame’s poor drafts, undrafted free agents and QB transfers

Welcome to the offseason. No, really. In an era with a seemingly non-stop transfer market, college football now enters as much of an offseason as it ever enjoys. Notre Dame may pull in a transfer or two in the coming weeks — safety jumps to mind after Irish head coach Marcus Freeman identified it specifically before spring practices when 2023 signee Brandyn Hillman was released from his National Letter of Intent and Notre Dame currently expects to have just five safeties on its roster in August — but otherwise, three months of quiet await.

Where Notre Dame Was & Is: Offensive line, returning bookend tackles and a three-year starter at center

New Notre Dame offensive coordinator Gerad Parker’s wide array of offensive experiences in his own words

New Notre Dame offensive coordinator Gerad Parker’s résumé is long and varied, part of what made him an alluring candidate to Irish head coach Marcus Freeman. As Freeman interviewed Parker, more a focus on offensive specifics than who Parker is personally given they have known each other for more than a decade, the applicability of that experience became more and more clear.
