True Freshman Anthonie Knapp could stay Notre Dame's starting left tackle beyond 2024.
The situation isn’t a perfect parallel to the Joe Alt scenario from 2021, but the similarities are striking. Back then, true freshman Blake Fisher was the clear starter at left tackle in fall camp until an injury in the opening game sidelined him until the bowl game.

It’s entirely possible. By this time next year, Knapp could have substantial starting experience at left tackle, while Jagusah might be recovering from a significant injury with only one start—approximately 18 months prior.
If Knapp performs well as a true freshman, there’s no reason to move him from the left tackle spot. Much like Joe Alt, Knapp was an underrated recruit whom the Notre Dame coaching staff couldn’t stop praising. Both also needed to add substantial weight to their frames. In Knapp’s case, he also excelled against some of the best high school competition in the country.He has work to do in the weight room, no doubt.
