⚡ CFB Dashboard

- CJ Carr enters 2026 as the clear quarterback leader, avoiding the prolonged competition Notre Dame experienced in the previous cycle. - Two-year left-tackle starter Anthony Knapp has moved to left guard because the staff is high on redshirt freshman Will Black at left tackle; Knapp also profiles as a captain candidate. - Ashton Craig's projected September return from an ACL injury leaves the early interior-line configuration unsettled, with freshman Matt Augustine among the right-guard options. - Quincy Porter is in the competition for the W receiver role, part of a depth chart that must replace multiple players moving to the next level.

- CJ Carr enters 2026 in his second year as Notre Dame's starter after receiving more ownership of the offense during spring practice. - The next step is maintaining precise route depth, timing and coverage reads with the receiver group; those details are central to quarterback trust and limiting interception-producing mistakes. - Notre Dame's secondary is drawing substantial preseason recognition, a positive signal for a position group carrying much of the defense's early hype.

- DL: Love this edge depth - totally unprecedented at ND.

- Notre Dame under 11.5 wins — market was noted around -200 on the under; over ranged +170 to +180. Duck also mentioned a parlay angle: Notre Dame under 11.5 + Notre Dame to make the Playoff for -119. - Notre Dame’s 11.5 win total is being priced like an elite team, but Duck flagged BYU at Provo as a tough road spot and said the Irish are not a must-lay at this number. - C.J. Carr is being pushed into Heisman-favorite territory, but Duck called that too much hype and said the Irish offense still has to replace Jeremiyah Love’s production. - Notre Dame: Schedule should make them favored in every game; concern is whether they can replace Jeremiyah Love and avoid the kind of flat losses Marcus Freeman’s teams have had before. Duck likes the under + playoff parlay as a cleaner way to play the market. - Navy: Duck trusts the continuity, QB Braxton Woodson, and the schedule setup. He said the key is surviving the Notre Dame game by less than three touchdowns and beating UTSA.

- ND first team with two RBs selected first two in first round, no other RB between them.

- Injury: He's limited this spring, no contact.

- Brauntae Johnson should test well at combine; first-year starter improvement trajectory makes him safety #1.
