## Resource

Notre Dame’s 2026 season could be their most explosive yet, fueled by a defense primed to go elite with rising stars Keon Keeley and DJ McKinney leading the pass rush, while the secondary might produce the most NFL draft picks in college football history. Running back Kedren Young and QB CJ Carr are key offensive pieces to watch, and new defensive line coach Charlie Partridge could be the hidden engine behind their defensive overhaul — setting the stage for a dominant year and a major draft impact.
