Notre Dame Football's Offensive Tackle Concern for 2024

When Notre Dame made its first trip to the College Football Playoff in 2018 it did so despite losing a pair of top-10 offensive linemen from that year's NFL draft.

In their places will be what were once highly-touted recruits but a couple of players that its simply unfair to have sky-high expectations for in 2024. The right side, at the moment, appears to be veteran Tosh Baker's job to start, but seems to be more of a competition. Junior Aamil Wagner could challenge for playing time while Sullivan Absher of last year's recruiting class is worth keeping an eye on.

That's not because of any unpreparedness or anything of the sort, but instead because offensive tackle was clearly amongst Notre Dame's biggest strengths in 2023. Alt and Fisher were just that good.Week One's trip to Texas A&M includes a test against a very talented Aggies defensive line, headed by Purdue transfer Nic Scoutron, a pass rushing terror on the shortest of lists of most talented defenders Notre Dame will face in 2024.
