Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 68 Michael Carmody, senior offensive lineman

Listed measurements: 6-foot-5 ½, 280 pounds. 2023-24 year, eligibility: A senior, Carmody has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Depth Chart: Carmody may show up at any position along the offensive line on a public two-deep. He has started at tackle, spent much of the last 18 months working at guard and occasionally practiced at center to provide some depth behind fifth-year Zeke Correll. In those respects, Carmody is the equivalent of an offensive line utility knife, capable of helping at any position. Recruiting: An All-American and consensus four-star prospect, Carmody chose Notre Dame instead of Auburn, Ohio State and Michigan, among many others. A Pennslyvania native, he spent plenty of time considering Penn State, but the Irish always had a headstart, thanks to Carmody’s older brother, Robby, playing on the men’s basketball team since 2018, right about when the football Carmody’s recruiting began in earnest.

CAREER TO DATE Carmody may reach the conclusion of his career as a bit of a historical footnote. After appearing in just one blowout in 2020, Carmody was the surprising starter at left tackle one game into 2021 when freshman Blake Fisher tore his meniscus in the opener. Carmody lasted less than one game before spraining an ankle, which led to Tosh Baker getting a start until a concussion cut short his time on the first string. Carmody took another start, but his ankle further waylaid him, and thus began the Joe Alt Era.
