Notre Dame’s Quarterback Battle Takes Center Stage Ahead of Spring Football
As Notre Dame prepares for spring football, one pressing question looms large: Who will start at quarterback?
Steve Angeli brings the most experience, CJ Carr boasts the highest recruiting pedigree, and Kenny Minchey serves as the talented dark horse. Yet, with the season opener against Miami on August 31 approaching, the competition remains wide open.
CBS Sports Praises Notre Dame’s Quarterback Room
Despite the lack of proven experience, CBS Sports ranked Notre Dame’s quarterback room as the fifth deepest in the nation. The outlet highlighted the potential of both Angeli and Carr, with Carr standing out as the highest-rated Notre Dame quarterback recruit since Brandon Wimbush. Angeli, meanwhile, has shown impressive arm talent and a quick release in his backup role.
With a more dynamic passing attack on the horizon, Notre Dame has the potential to shake things up offensively. However, with the departure of Riley Leonard—who was a key piece in the Irish rushing game—questions remain about how the offense will adjust without a highly mobile quarterback.
While uncertainties persist, one thing is clear: Notre Dame’s quarterback battle is one of the most intriguing storylines heading into the 2025 season.
