Notre Dame Picks 5 Offensive Camp Favorites Ahead of 2026 Fall Practice

3 articles · Updated · AtoZ Sports · Aug 4

Fall camp opens this week with five notable Notre Dame offensive battles still unsettled, even as quarterback and most of the offensive line appear locked in.
Aneyas Williams is projected to open as the starting running back, while Micah Gilbert and Ohio State transfer Mylan Graham are favored to claim the boundary and slot receiver jobs.
Cooper Flanagan is forecast as the de facto starting tight end in Mike Denbrock’s multi-tight-end offense, with James Flanigan, Ty Washington and Ian Premer also expected to factor in.
Right guard looks like the closest true line competition, with redshirt freshman Matty Augustine narrowly picked over Sullivan Absher as Charles Jagusah’s injury clouds the spot.
Availability is a major theme across the battles, with Quincy Porter recovering from January knee surgery and Jaden Greathouse entering camp after an injury-hit season.
