No. 1 Notre Dame’s stars played like stars Saturday afternoon. And when that happens, the Irish are tough to beat. One could argue impossible. When they fire on all cylinders like they did Saturday afternoon at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., the Irish are the best men’s lacrosse team in the country. No. 8 Georgetown found out the hard way. Notre Dame won 16-11 — in a game that was not that close until the Hoyas went on a late 3-0 run after it had already been decided — and eliminated the only team who beat it during the regular season. The defending-champion Irish advanced to the NCAA ...

Notre Dame men’s lacrosse remembers Feb. 25 well. The Irish remember playing what they suspected then and definitely know now was not their best game, as the Hoyas pushed them to overtime in South Bend. They remember the rocket from senior attackman Aidan Carroll that gave them their first and only loss so far this season. And they remember Georgetown head coach Kevin Warne being so thrilled to beat the No. 1 team in the country that he lost his bearings and fell over in disbelief. With that 11-10 loss still fresh in their minds, the No. 1 Irish aren’t complaining about drawing the No. 8 Hoyas...

Notre Dame’s cornerbacks are among the best in the country, and On3 national college football columnist Jesse Simonton’s top-10 CB unit rankings reflect that. Simonton has the Irish at No. 6, behind Ohio State, Oregon, Iowa, Michigan and Florida State, respectively. The Irish feature star junior Benjamin Morrison, a consensus first-round prospect entering his third and likely final season in college football. “Benjamin Morrison missed a chunk of the spring with a shoulder injury, but when healthy, the junior is among the best cover corners in the country,” Simonton wrote. “As a freshman in 202...

As with any NFL Draft, the focus of the 2025 cycle will be the quarterbacks. But this class — including Notre Dame senior Riley Leonard — has a different feel to it than last season’s. In 2024, there was a clear top prospect in Caleb Williams and another underclassman everyone knew would go top-five in Drake Maye. This season, though, the race to become the top quarterback is much more wide-open. The Athletic senior college football writer Bruce Feldman spoke to coaches and personnel people around college football about the top quarterbacks. In addition to the early top three of Georgia’s Cars...

Notre Dame freshman quarterback CJ Carr is using his NIL for a good cause – supporting research to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer. Carr announced a new NIL deal on Wednesday with Napleton’s Countryside Mazda in Countryside, Illinois. As part of the partnership, Carr is promoting the auto group’s vehicles, including the 2024 Mazda CX-50 he’s now driving. But most importantly, Carr is supporting the dealership’s fight against pediatric brain cancer. It’s a cause near and dear to Carr, who lost his little brother, Chad, to a type of brain cancer called DIPG eight years ago. The Carr famil...

Notre Dame and its prospective transfer starting quarterback will not kick off this year’s college football season in Dublin, Ireland. Instead, two of the Fighting Irish’s opponents in 2024 — Florida State and Georgia State — will ring in the new year in the latest edition of the Aer Lingus Classic. That game, which is just 100 days away, is sure to bring a new level of excitement to this college football season. And to add to the intrigue, On3’s Clark Brooks has broken down the Top 100 Players entering this season. Notre Dame had five players represented, including two “5-star” talents (playe...

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman was named the 38th-best Power Five coach in the country per CBS a year ago. In 2024, CBS slotted him in at No. 24 in the Power Four making him one of the highest risers on the annual list that dates back to 2015. CBS Sports college football writer Tom Fornelli called Freeman a “climber” in that regard. “Freeman had his first 10-win season with the Fighting Irish last year and is now 19-7 over his two full seasons,” Fornelli wrote. “Most importantly, last year didn’t include any odd losses to teams like Marshall. Freeman and his staff have built a lot of positive...

Could Notre Dame football win the College Football Playoff championship in 2024? One ESPN reporter seems to think so. On Monday, ESPN’s Heather Dinich and Adam Rittenberg discussed their long shots to win the national title. Rittenberg chose the Fighting Irish. “Notre Dame fascinates me,” Rittenberg said. “The defense has been excellent under coordinator Al Golden and could be even better this fall, as Thorpe Award winner Xavier Watts and playmaking cornerback Benjamin Morrison lead an excellent secondary. Notre Dame usually can count on its offensive line and tight ends to be very good at wor...
