One national analyst believes that Notre Dame football will be a powerhouse going forward
This past season was an eye-opener for many Notre Dame football fans, and the haters as well. Many didn't think that the Irish were good enough to make the College Football Playoff due to an early-season loss to Northern Illinois, and even though they got in, those same people believed it would be a quick exit for Marcus Freeman's group. Well, that wasn't exactly the case, as they beat two Big Ten teams in Indiana and Penn State, and the SEC Champion Georgia on its way to the CFP championship game. Advertisement While one season doesn't define a program, it was eye-opening and enough to impress On3's J.D. Pickell. He went on to say that he 'doesn't see a clear governor on Notre Dame' to becoming a powerhouse in college football. Pickell mentions factors like Freeman, the influx of talent via recruiting, and being a destination for players who enter the transfer portal that give him no reasons to think this won't happen. With the change to the CFP format going to straight seeding, the conference hurdle is no longer an issue, making Notre Dame's path to a title much easier. It's hard to disagree with Pickell's assessment of the Irish's current situation, but you have to give a ton of credit to Freeman for what he has built over his first three seasons. While losses to Marshall and NIU weren't ideal, it hasn't stopped the vision that the head coach has created, and we are starting to see the fruits of his labor in South Bend.

National analyst believes that Notre Dame's Jaden Greathouse will soon be a household name
National analyst believes that Notre Dame's Jaden Greathouse will soon be a household name The hype building around Notre Dame football wide receiver Jaden Greathouse is continuing after an impressive finish to the 2024-25 season. The rising junior finished his season with two consecutive 100-yard receiving games with three scores, showing his gamebreaking ability when the Irish needed it the most. On3's J.D. Pickell believes that Greathouse just scratched the surface in the final two College Football Playoff games, and thinks that big things are head for the Notre Dame receiver. He said that the Irish will have a much different passing game this fall, as he expects that CJ Carr will be the starting quarterback which will help the vertical threats, and Greathouse will be one of the biggest benefactors. Pickell says that 'he's a matchup problem when he's a slot,' as he believes the coaching staff play him more from that position. 'Nationally, college football fans will know who Jaden Greathouse is by the end of the year,' is how he concluded his thoughts. It's hard to disagree with how Pickell sees the Notre Dame offense going this fall, as we all believe the passing game will take a step forward with whoever is starting at quarterback, Carr or Kenny Minchey.
