## Resource

Notre Dame is betting big on CJ Carr to lead them into the 2026 season, with Heisman hype swirling around the star quarterback—comparable to Brady Quinn’s 2006 run. Carr’s solid 2025 performance (2,700+ yards, 24 TDs, 6 INTs) sets the stage, even as the depth chart thins behind him: Blake Herbert, a Clemson flip who hasn’t played yet, sits second, while true freshmen Noah Grubbs (who got spring reps) and Teddy Jarrard (enrolled early) round out the QB room. With a strong offensive line and receiving corps expected to return, Carr’s development could soar—and if everything clicks, he might not just be a Heisman finalist, but a top NFL draft pick.
