Notre Dame QB Backup Uncertain | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame’s QB future is in flux as CJ Carr heads into his sophomore season with no clear backup—freshmen Noah Grubbs and Teddy Jarrard are locked in a tight race, leaving the coaching staff scrambling to finalize Week 1 plans. With Carr potentially eyeing an NFL draft leap, the lack of a defined No. 2 could spell drama if he gets hurt. Coach Freeman insists both backups need reps, even on scout teams, to stay ready. Meanwhile, the program’s already eyeing Champ Monds, a top Florida recruit, for 2027—adding another layer to a quarterback room that’s still being built. For now, fans will have to wait and watch as Notre Dame tries to piece together its contingency plan. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
