Huge Opportunity Awaits Gabriel Rubio

An injury to a defensive lineman who has yet to crack the rotation during his career might not seem like a big deal, but Aidan Keanaaina’s knee injury may be an exception. That’s because the situation at nose tackle for Notre Dame was already a bit unclear and this takes one player out of the mix there.

Jacob Lacey has a chance to be very good there as the starter. He has plenty of experience and if he’s healthy, the expectation should be for him to have a great year.
