## Resource

Notre Dame’s linebacker corps is poised to dominate college football in 2026, ranked 1 by Phil Steele and 2 overall by Georgia—hard to dispute with this stacked, coachable unit. New coach Brian Jean-Mary inherits a goldmine and faces the challenge of maximizing talent while reinforcing team-first culture. After a slow start last season adjusting to a new scheme, the linebackers exploded in the second half, racking up tackles for loss and pressures at an alarming rate. With all five key starters returning and deep depth, they’re expected to elevate their play even further in 2026. Led by captain Drayk Bowen and featuring stars like Jaiden Ausberry and KyngSTONN Viliamu-Asa, this unit has the talent, experience, and cohesion to be truly elite—if they stay healthy and deliver under the massive expectations.
