24 APRIL 2020 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED A total of 102 players — 79 scholarship and 23 walk-ons — were on Notre Dame's spring roster March 5. There are eight scholarship freshmen that en- rolled in January, and the other nine will join the team in June when summer school commences. That will put the scholarship count up to 88, and it must be down to 85 in August. The number next to the class year represents years of eligibility remaining. The depth chart is based on observations during the opening prac- tice March 5, with educated guesses mixed in. OFFENSE Quarterback No. Player Ht. Wt.
