Notre Dame football team held an important practice and extensive scrimmage at Notre Dame Stadium, with no new additions to the players out for the scrimmage except for defensive lineman Tyson Ford, who was also absent from Tuesday's practice. Ford is taking time to "figure stuff out" according to Marcus Freeman, but he remains on the team.
Notre Dame's Jaylen Sneed and the next wave of linebackers impressed in the Blue-Gold Game, with Sneed leading the Gold team with seven tackles. With last year's starting rover, Jack Kiser, challenging for playing time inside this spring, Sneed has a clear path to significant playing time in the fall, maybe even as a starter. The linebackers were a standout group in the game, with Nolan Ziegler leading the Blue team with 10 tackles and a sack, and early enrolled freshmen Drayk Bowen, Preston Zinter, and Jaiden Ausberry also making an impact.
Notre Dame's Blue-Gold Game will be available exclusively on Peacock at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The scrimmage will provide extended looks at quarterbacks Sam Hartman and Tyler Buchner, as well as young receivers and running backs. While the game may not impact fall expectations, success for young players can inspire further work throughout the summer. The defense is experienced, but the back-seven is rather experienced. The game will be broadcasted by Tony Simeone, Kyle Rudolph, and Kyle Hamilton on Peacock.
Notre Dame wide receiver Lorenzo Styles has entered the transfer portal with hopes of playing defensive back at his next stop. Styles began practicing at cornerback last week, but from a depth chart perspective, it did not make much sense. With only two years of eligibility remaining, Styles was unlikely to embrace a year spent idling behind fifth-year Cam Hart, preseason All-American Benjamin Morrison and a trio of contenders at nickel back. Notre Dame concludes its spring practices with the annual intrasquad scrimmage, the Blue-Gold Game, on Saturday, which will be available exclusively on Peacock.
