2026 Spring Practice Thread

[NDPhilly]

I’m shocked Sanders came here to be a backup for a year. He’s everywhere

He looks like a senior who’s primed to be drafted. McKinney and Zackery better show up in the fall.

 

[GoldenGhillie]

is Carr done for the day?

 

[Huntr]

They hit us with a blow. Not taking our jewelry.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

I have one takeaway from the spring game: this is the best defense I can remember at Notre Dame and might just be the best in the country. They've dominated and do not even have their two or three best players in the game.

 

[IrishBoognish]

Cool story from Book there

 

[NDPhilly]

I would pay for a live stream of Brian Kelly listening to how Ian book talks about Freeman lol

 

[Dale]

Seems like Cover 3, not sure why Smith came up yelling at the other guy (walk on DB). Maybe for Fitzgerald getting off so cleanly

 

[Huntr]

Best player in the country right there

 

[NDPhilly]

Realizing I didn’t even know what Leonard’s voice sounded like since he’s been the underclassmam lol

 

[NDPhilly]

Dunham pressure again

Love this report! Defensive line and defensive backs are sooooo good and deep. Lbs strong too with KVA, Ausberry, Bowen. Team is loaded boys. Title of bust in 2026. Let's do this!

Good shit Ethan

 

[Dale]

Yeah I mean we won’t be throwing to Washington

Long has the always around the ball quality

Bump.

 

[Jeffwantpoppers]

Yeah Ethan Long may be a player

 

[NDPhilly]

just absurdly loaded at DB. Can’t believe my eyes. And McKinney isn’t even here yet.

 

[Dale]

Ethan Long and Jayden Sanders aren’t starters

The rest of the country should be worried by that statement

(Brutal decision by Grubbs)

 

[Irishdawg]

Spring ball= Leave No Doubt!!

 

[NDPhilly]

Going to be just fine with Long and JOB at safety in 2027.

What's funny is that most college teams are going to have barely competent Nickles. Mylan Graham is going to think games are easier than practice.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Bump.

It's INSANE to realize he's a backup. All he does is make plays and force turnovers.

 

[Dale]

Why didn’t Southall hurdle like Love????

 

[greyhammer90]

Right down the middle hell yes.

 

[Huntr]

Ice Porath

 

[Dale]

HE’S NEVER MISSING A KICK EVER

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Wow,
I didn’t know that the football was actually supposed to go through the upright.

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

Great call Marcus.

 

[Punky]

Porath perfect on the game. Hang the banner now boys!

 

[CousinEddy]

Welp, the wait for fall camp is gonna be brutal with how excited I am for this team next year

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

YEAH!!!!!
Defense wins BUT he still made the kick with the whole team in his face and everything on the line!!

Just awesome!
