MOST CAREER CATCHES 1. Corey Robinson, 65 for 896 yards and seven touchdowns — He dropped from 40 catches in 2014 to 16 in 2015, but still has nearly twice as many career grabs than anyone else on the team. 2. Torii Hunter Jr., 35 for 428 yards and three touchdowns — Began to become more prominent as a junior while splitting time with the graduated Amir Carlisle. 3. Tarean Folston, 23 for 225 yards and one touchdown — Became a good check-down option out of the backfield as a sophomore with 18 grabs for 190 yards in 2014. 4. Alizé Jones, 13 for 190 yards and no touchdowns — The stretch-the-field tight end had several huge moments as a freshman, and might be primed for a huge year because of fewer veteran receiving options. 5. Josh Adams, seven for 42 yards and one touchdown — Joins Folston as an appealing screen option out of the backfield. MOST CAREER PASSING YARDS 1. QB DeShone Kizer, 2,884 on 211-of-335 passing (63.0 percent) with 21 touchdowns and 10 inter- ceptions — His pass efficiency rating of 149.95 in 2015 was the seventh best in a season at Notre Dame. 2. QB Malik Zaire, 684 on 47-of-75 passing (62.7 percent) with five touchdowns and no interceptions — He began 2015 as the starter before a fractured ankle in game two sidelined him. 3. QB Brandon Wimbush, 17 on 3-of-5 passing (60.0 percent) with no touchdowns or interceptions — His two game appearances as a freshman were against UMass and Pitt. MOST CAREER TACKLES 1. FS Max Redfield — 143 (2.5 for loss) 2. DE Isaac Rochell — 110 (14 for loss) 3. CB Cole Luke — 104 (3.5 for loss) 4. OLB James Onwualu — 68 (8 for loss) 5. ILB Nyles Morgan — 64 (3.5 for loss) 6t. DT Jarron Jones — 60 (8.5 for loss) 6t. LB Greer Martini — 60 (4.5 for loss) 8. SS Drue Tranquill — 42 (4 for loss) 9. CB Devin Butler — 39 (0 for loss) 10. DE Andrew Trumbetti — 37 (8 for loss) Note: The most career quarterback sacks belong to Rochell with 3.5. Onwualu has three, Jones 2.5, and Trumbetti and Martini two apiece. MOST CAREER INTERCEPTIONS 1. Cole Luke — 6 2. Max Redfield — 2 Note: Luke's 18 career passes defended also are easily the most on the team, with Devin Butler's seven second and Redfield's three third … With four interceptions this year, Luke would join the following Notre Dame players since 1979 to reach 10 career interceptions: first-round picks Todd Lyght (11), Tom Carter (10) and Jeff Burris (10), and 2002 consensus All-American Shane Walton (11).
