The most important...Seniors


Today we will look at which Seniors are most important for a successful Irish season.  Experience, leadership and game action are all reasons why in general seniors are important to a college football program.  At Notre Dame seniors always have seemed to step up and rise to the occasion.  Most recently I think of

Everett Golson may be the most important player on Notre Dame's roster heading into the 2014 season.  We are not saying he is the best but in a offense who has to score more points this season he is the key piece of the puzzle.  In addition to being the biggies piece of the puzzle he is also the teams biggest question mark.  Even though Malik Zaire has looked good on the scout team and in the Spring Blue and Gold Game and true freshman DeShone Kizer has a lot of potential Golson is the ONLY scholarship quarterback to ever take a college game snap.  As goes Golson as goes the Irish.

Honorable Mentions:

Ben Koyack came to Tight End U very highly touted including being named the best tight end in the country by Scout.com.  Like the quarterback position Koyack is the only tight end to take a snap in a college game.

Ishaq Williams is not necessarily one of the most important seniors this season but his senior season is one of the most for him.  Much like Koyack Williams came to South Bend with multiple stars next to his recruiting profile but has not yet lived up to his hype. 

The senior class as a whole may be the most important class overall as they will need to not only provide leadership but results.
