If there is one position holding back [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] from joining the elite’s of college football, it’s at quarterback.
Head coach [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] has found a one-year stop-gap answer in transfer [autotag]Sam Hartman[/autotag], but after what we saw during the Blue and Gold game, the depth behind him isn’t great.
You know who is great? Irish commit [autotag]CJ Carr[/autotag]. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 195 pound signal caller is the 5th quarterback and 41st overall player in the 2024 class according to the 247Sports composite.
Yes, the Irish had had higher ranked commits at the position ([autotag]Jimmy Clausen[/autotag], [autotag]Dayne Crist[/autotag], [autotag]Gunner Kiel[/autotag] and [autotag]Brandon Wimbush[/autotag]), but none has the skill set that Carr possesses.
Want proof? Check out the video below as Carr earns himself an invite to the Elite 11 finals, the top camp for quarterback prospects.
