Players That Should Have An Immediate Impact On Notre Dame Football In 2018

With the departure of several key players, Notre Dame football recruitment went into overdrive this offseason. Hereunder are top freshman prospects who may find themselves getting quality playing time in 2108.

Houston Griffith 

Griffith is the 64th-ranked player to enter the 2018 class. His talent alone should make him a shoo-in for getting playing time, especially if he can move to safety from cornerback. Safety has been a weak aspect of the Irish’s game lately, and his development should help fill in the void. 

Jack Lamb 

With the news of the departure of linebackers Nyles Morgan and Greer Martini, Lamb should have an open spot to land a starting role and show his wares. Drue Tranquill and Coney will most likely start at the Rover and Mike positions and with Lamb finding himself a likely Buck. 

Jayson Ademilola 

Though Notre Dame’s defensive line seems to be getting crowded, Ademilola might be a good player to add to the depth of the interior. Especially given coach Kelly’s history of giving past freshmen players like Kurt Hinsh and Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa such defensive spots. 

Derrik Allen 

Allen could factor into the safety position immediately, bolstering Notre Dame’s poor back end play. If Griffith is Notre Dame’s highest-ranked recruit, Derrik Allen, the 70th overall prospect, is the school’s most important.
