## Resource

Notre Dame’s 2026 defense is poised to be elite—stacked, consistent, and built for disruption. Led by a dominant secondary anchored by Leonard Moore, a returning Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, and a revamped defensive line, this unit is primed to shut down opponents week after week. Even with injuries last season, they delivered lights-out play—this year’s version should be even stronger. Meanwhile, the offense remains a work in progress, with CJ Carr at QB and a brand-new supporting cast. The defense will be the team’s backbone, tasked with keeping points off the board while the offense finds its footing.
