## Resource

Notre Dame’s 2026 schedule is loaded with elite talent, and several breakout stars are poised to dominate. Quarterback Colton Joseph at Wisconsin and Bear Bachmeier from BYU—both dual-threat weapons—could be Heisman dark horses. Navy’s Braxton Woodson, a bruising runner who torched Notre Dame last year, and Syracuse’s Steve Angeli, recovering from injury, are also major threats. On defense, Jordan Hall (Michigan State) and Melkart Abou-Jaoude (North Carolina) are rising stars, while Evan Johnson (BYU) and freshman tackle Jackson Cantwell (Miami) are quietly making waves. With this stacked lineup, Notre Dame’s path to victory will be anything but easy—expect fireworks.
