6 Thoughts on a Thursday

A little over 70% of true freshmen redshirted during Marcus Freeman’s first three seasons at Notre Dame. Last season it was 21 of 25 (84%) who redshirted and one of the four who played was kicker Erik Schmidt. The primary reason he burned his redshirt was because of injury to Noah Burnette.

Injuries can play a big part in who does or doesn’t redshirt. Anthonie Knapp probably redshirts if Charles Jagusah doesn’t tear his pec in the first week of camp in 2024.
