5 Notre Dame Redshirts to Watch this Spring

Harrison Smith, Zack Martin, Quenton Nelson, Mike McGlinchey, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Kyren Williams, and Xavier Watts. Those seven players are among the best Notre Dame has had over the last two decades.

They all have one thing in common: each of them redshirted their first season on campus. They developed into four first round picks, a Butkus Award winner, a two-time 1,000 yard rusher, and a two-time All-American.
