Does Notre Dame Have a Championship Caliber Roster in 2025?

1 week ago | irishsportsdaily.com | Jamie Uyeyama

The question is the same one that Notre Dame fans ask every offseason: do the Irish have a team that can win a national championship? In most years during the last three decades, the answer has been no. The Irish had three teams go undefeated in the regular season in the last 15 years and even then the answer was no. Those teams didn’t have enough talent. That might sound cold to put it in those terms, but it’s a fact that’s based on recent national championship teams.

Film Don't Lie | Jakobe Clapper

When someone has 11 minutes of highlights from a season, that says a lot about how productive they are as a player. New Notre Dame LB commit Jakobe Clapper‍ is a playmaker. His 195 tackles the past two seasons backs that up. A bit of a throwback who is advanced in many areas, Clapper is one of my favorite prospects that Notre Dame has landed so far in the 2026 class. I’m a huge fan of his game.

KAdrian Redmond‍, a 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive lineman from DeSoto High School (Texas), is quickly emerging as one of the nation’s most coveted interior prospects in the 2027 class. This spring, Redmond gained crucial insight into several in-state programs with unofficial visits to TCU, Texas, and Texas A&M. Most recently, he visited Austin for the second time this year and came away impressed with what the Longhorns have to offer after watching a scrimmage. “It was great,” stated Redmond.

Being the head coach at Alabama was seen as a great opportunity for a long time. It also felt like the opportunity was squandered by coaches after Gene Stallings retired in 1996. Mike Dubose, Dennis Franchione, and Mike Shula coached a combined 10 seasons at Alabama. Mike Price coached zero seasons, but he was there for a brief moment as well. The Crimson Tide had more losing seasons (five) than they had 10-win seasons (three) during that decade. Then came Nick Saban.

Hit & Hustle is back with a way-too-early top-25 ranking of Notre Dame players after the spring. Greg and Jamie start the show by giving final NFL Draft thoughts and then get into their top-25 rankings.

Just when you thought things were slowing down, Notre Dame sent a reminder that they are still hot when it comes to recruiting by adding a commitment from 4-star safety Ayden Pouncey‍. A multi-sport athlete who competes in several track and field events (11.05 100m), landing Pouncey is a big win for Notre Dame over programs like Florida and Miami.

Marcus Freeman was hesitant to talk about how talented his team is at his final spring press conference. If he did hype up his team too much, it would go against the message he has been talking about with them since the end of last season. Teams that get caught up believing their own hype can end up losing games they shouldn’t. It happened to Notre Dame last season against Northern Illinois. Since then everything has been about the process for the Irish.
