Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 84 Kevin Bauman, senior tight end coming off a torn ACL

Listed measurements: 6-foot-4 ½, 252 pounds. 2023-24 year, eligibility: A senior, Bauman has three years of eligibility remaining. Yes, he could end up playing a sixth year somewhere in 2025, if he so chooses. The universal pandemic eligibility waiver meant Bauman’s injury-shortened 2022 could serve as his traditional season preserving eligibility. Depth Chart: A year ago, Bauman was considered Notre Dame’s second tight end, but he may be as low as No. 4 entering 2023, in part due to his injury and in part due to junior Mitchell Evans and sophomore Holden Staes making the most of their opportunities last season. Recruiting: Bauman had the misfortune of being the same age as Michael Mayer, the latter ranked No. 3 among tight ends in the class of 2020 while Bauman was the No. 5, per rivals.com. Michigan gave late pursuit to Bauman, but the New Jersey native stuck with the Irish, the only program he genuinely considered.

‘One of the hardest setbacks’ – Remco Evenepoel hits back at critics after Giro d'Italia withdrawal

Remco Evenepoel says his withdrawal from the Giro d'Italia was one of the «hardest setbacks» of his career and has hit back at some of the criticism he has faced. The 2022 Vuelta a Espana champion was one of the favourites for the Giro but was forced to withdraw after contracting Covid-19 in a big shake-up to the race. Ad The 23-year-old then came in for a remarkable amount of criticism for the decision, with Italian newspaper Gazetta dello Sport suggesting he would have «found it hard to accept defeat and preferred to leave the race with the pink jersey and two wins in the two time trials».

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.
