Notre Dame Spring Football: Wide Receivers Set for Breakout Opportunities
As Notre Dame gears up for spring football, the wide receiver room presents a unique opportunity for young talent to shine. With key departures and injuries shaking up the depth chart, the stage is set for emerging playmakers to step up and make their mark.
Jaden Greathouse flashed potential late last season, particularly in the Orange Bowl and National Championship, but an injury will sideline him this spring. Meanwhile, incoming transfers Will Pauling (foot injury) and Virginia transfer CJ Carr (yet to arrive on campus) leave the position wide open for rising stars.
Highly touted recruit Cam Williams has a chance to make an immediate impact, while other young receivers like KK Smith, Logan Saldate, and four-star talent Micah Gilbert could carve out roles with strong spring performances.
With quarterback Riley Leonard heading to the NFL and a new signal-caller set to take over, the development of Notre Dame’s receiving corps will be a crucial storyline leading up to the season opener against Miami on August 31. Who will emerge as the next go-to target for the Fighting Irish? The competition starts now.
