Notre Dame’s Draft Hype Surges | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame’s NFL Draft buzz is exploding, with eight players cracking one analyst’s top 100—tied for most with Oregon. Standouts include cornerback Leonard Moore, safety Brauntae Johnson, and linebacker KyngSTON Viliamu-Asa, but the real shocker is wide receiver Jordan Faison, a walk-on lacrosse recruit now ranked 26th overall and fourth among receivers. His grit, quickness, and toughness are turning heads. Other top prospects: defensive lineman Francis Brewu, edge rusher Boubacar Traore, QB CJ Carr (praised for poise and leadership), and OL Anthonie Knapp. Even sweet backstory moments—like Joe Otting’s mom recalling a Lambeau Field visit as a kid—add heart to the hype. With the season ahead, Notre Dame’s draft stock is soaring—and this could be just the beginning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
