Steve Elmer OL 6-5½ 317 Highly intelligent four-game starter in 2013 will start at either left guard or right tackle this season. Tarean Folston RB 5-10 190 Produced sixth-highest rushing total ever by a Notre Dame freshman back with 470 yards. William Fuller WR 6-0 171 Big-play threat averaged 26.6 yards on his six receptions last season in specialized role. Mike Heuerman* TE 6-3½ 225 Athletic figure will need more bulk to join classmate Durham Smythe and have major role by 2015. Torii Hunter Jr.* WR 6-0 190 Lone redshirt (medical) among four frosh wideouts is in rebound stage after major leg injury. Cole Luke CB 5-11 190 Nickel back last year enjoyed quality spring while working with starting unit all the way. Jacob Matuska* DL 6-4 285 Interior lineman has added about 45 pounds since high school senior year when he was a tight end/linebacker. Mike McGlinchey* OT 6-7½ 300 Worked at No. 1 right tackle all spring after adding about 20 pounds his freshman year. Colin McGovern* OG 6-4½ 313 Practiced behind McGlinchey in spring, but future is at guard, per Brian Kelly. John Montelus* OG 6-3¾ 320 Lost 20 pounds of extra cargo and has recovered from shoulder surgery that sidelined him much of last fall. James Onwualu OLB 6-1 215 Earned letter as physical wideout and on special teams before making adjustment to Sam linebacker in spring. Doug Randolph* ILB 6-2 240 Finished spring as third Will, behind classmate Jaylon Smith and fifth-year senior Kendall Moore. Max Redfield FS 6-1 194 Classified as having freakish athletic ability by staff, but first aim is to be assignment conscious. Corey Robinson WR 6-4¼ 205 Probably the most consistent wideout of the spring in all aspects of the game. Isaac Rochell DL 6-4 287 Valuable swingman who could play on perimeter but might be needed more inside in 4-3 packages. Jaylon Smith LB 6-2 235 Already has captain-like qualities, but will be making a transition to the inside this year. Durham Smythe* TE 6-4½ 242 Will be regularly featured while complementing senior starter Ben Koyack. Malik Zaire* QB 6-0 208 Strong spring showing keeps pressure on probable starter Everett Golson heading into fall. * Eligible for a fifth season in 2017
