CJ Carr Named Captain at Notre Dame | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame just named CJ Carr as a captain — making him the 25th quarterback to earn the honor in program history, and the first since the late 60s for linemen. With Drayk Bowen and Adon Shuler also returning as captains, Notre Dame now has 29 multi-year captains, 17 of whom have emerged since 2000. The breakdown? 51 offensive, 57 defensive, and just 3 special teams captains since 2000 — with quarterbacks (including Carr) accounting for 8 of the 51 offensive captains. Offensive linemen dominate, with 20 earning the nod, including multiple selections for the Martin brothers and Mike McGlinchey. This year’s captain class — Carr, Faison, Bowen, Shuler — marks the first time since 2022 that no transferred player holds the title, signaling a return to homegrown leadership.
