The Youth Movement

I wanted to highlight and give some credit to some of the underclassmen who have already shown that they have the ability to contribute to this Notre Dame team sooner than later.  Even though we are only two games into the season some freshman and sophomores have stepped up, admittedly in some cases a limited roles, and shown their worth.

FRESHMEN

Devin Studstill
Safety Devin Studstill – I know he may be playing a bit out of necessity but 7 tackles (6 solo) in his first two games is not too bad. 







SOPHOMORES

Sophomores Josh Adams, Justin Yoon and Jerry Tillery (who has under achieved a bit so far) are no surprise after last year’s performances.  I will credit them for not having an early sophomore hangover.

Wide Receiver Equanimeous St. Brown – He looked ok in limited action last year but this could be a special year for him with 11 catches so far.
C.J. Sanders

Linebacker Te’Von Coney – 8 tackles so far (7 solos and 1 for a loss), building on last season’s start.

Running Back Dexter Williams – Looked really good against Nevada. I wasn’t sure how much work he might get after his off-field incident and playing behind Adams and Folston but don’t be surprised to see this backfield rotate tree running backs this season.

Receiver / kick Returner C.J Sanders – Already drawing comparisons to Irish greats of the past and looks to be an all-purpose yard machine.

Honorable Mention; Chris Finke
