Offseason Preview - Notre Dame Linebacker Play Must Get Better

Published: Jan. 21, 2022, 11 a.m.

Notre Dame has yet to hire a defensive coordinator, which in turn means the Irish don't yet have a linebackers coach.

Notre Dame must replace captain and three-year starter Drew White, two rovers and Shayne Simon (who started in 2020), but the unit returns a great deal of talent. In our latest show we talk all things linebacker, including a discussion about the talented freshman class and rising sophomore Prince Kollie. Learn more about your ad choices.
