Jordan Genmark Heath enters a senior year where it’s make or break time. After impressing mightily on special teams his freshman year he’s struggled to get on the field regularly on defense.
He started the opener last season against Louisville but didn’t start again the rest of the season despite seeing action in all 13 contests, recording 10 tackles along the way.
Genmark Heath enters 2020 as the favorite to win the Buck linebacker starting spot after Asmar Bilal’s strong senior season that seemingly came out of nowhere, at least at the Buck position. Notre Dame fans can hope for a senior starting full-time there for the first time to end positively again, like it did after Bilal’s position change there a season ago.
