## Resource

Armel Mukam, Notre Dame’s bruising defensive tackle, is back for his senior season after briefly exploring the transfer portal — and the expectations are sky-high. A Canadian native with three years under his belt, Mukam hasn’t yet delivered a breakout campaign, but flashes of elite athleticism — especially in his late-season surge against Navy — have ignited hope. With his size, strength, and per-snap efficiency rivaling past stars, he’s poised to become a consistent force in 2026, potentially logging over 250 snaps and matching Elijah Hughes’ impact. While a true difference-maker like Howard Cross or Riley Mills remains a stretch, a successful year means Mukam finally fulfills his potential: a reliable, game-changing presence on the defensive line.
