When Mike Mickens arrived at Notre Dame, corner was the weakest position on the team. In 2023 it might be the strongest

Notre Dame will start preseason camp on Friday and competition will be front and center across the roster.

With two starters and the primary nickel returning, it would seem like things should be settled at corner for Notre Dame. That might not be the case, though, and this camp is going to tell a lot about where everyone fits

Notre Dame's defensive backs coach visited with media Tuesday morning, outlining strengths, grows and especially discussing budding freshman sensation Jaden Mickey:

Cam Hart had a nice debut as a starter, but the Irish need him and every other corner to take it up a notch this spring

Notre Dame came out of spring with the potential to have four or five quality cornerbacks, but how good the group can be is still to be determined

Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly spoke following Saturday's practice.

Notre Dame's pass defense took a step back after being elite the previous two seasons. If they're going to head back towards being a top-five pass defense, it will start with developing the young corners on the roster this spring

Clarence Lewis had an impressive freshman season and could be great in 2021, but after him, the depth chart is uncertain. Notre Dame needs players like Cam Hart to make significant strides
