One of the advantages of playing freshman early, is they get the experience needed to perform in the future.
Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman has done a great job of that, some out of necessity, others due to players forcing their way into the rotation. Running back [autotag]Jeremiyah Love[/autotag] falls into the latter, as he got touches in every game.
Offensive tackle [autotag]Charles Jagusah[/autotag] falls into the former, as Joe Alt opting out of the Sun Bowl paved the way for the true freshman to get his first start. It should come as no surprise that 247Sports named each of them as a former blue-chip player that will breakout in 2024.

Both true sophomores figure to be focal points of the Irish offense this season, as they are expected to win the starting jobs. It’s almost as a breakout for them is eminent.
