Notre Dame is recruiting at a very high level and expects to see a couple of true freshman contribute in a big way in 2024.
Notre Dame’s veteran stars have turned plenty of heads this preseason, making the lists of multiple All-American teams. Now two Fighting Irish freshmen are also making headlines as Anthonie Knapp and Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa have both earned preseason Freshman All-American honors from On3.
Knapp is in a fight for the starting left tackle position while Kyngstronn Viliamu-Asa will see significant time at linebacker this fall regardless if he's considered a starter or not.Couple clips of 2024 Notre Dame OL commit Anthonie Knapp from Thursday night as Marcus Freeman and Joe Rudolph saw him live."nthonie Knapp is already running with the first team at left tackle for Notre Dame following Charles Jagusah’s season-ending injury in camp. This is a prospect that we loved at On3.
In the case of Viliamu-Asa, you can see the talent level of the linebackers growing significantly in recent years. Sure, there has been a guy or two in the linebacker corps in recent years that you might like but the depth hasn't looked like this with the unit in what feels like ages. The same can be said about the offensive line but not in a good way. Anthonie Knapp fighting for a starting tackle spot brings back memories of Notre Dame in 2018 when the Irish had to replace both Quenton Nelson and Mike McGlinchey on the offensive line.
That team wound up being more than OK as it made the College Football Playoff, but the offensive line was hardly special that fall. Perhaps it serves as a roadmap of this year could be successful without a great offensive line for Notre Dame.
