About this episode
The IB team explores how the new "Five for Five" rule could accelerate the development of Notre Dame's talented 2026 recruiting class without sacrificing redshirts. The show breaks down which freshmen are most likely to contribute on offense, defense, and special teams, and why those early opportunities could pay major dividends for the Irish.
