Heading into the 2024 college football season, Notre Dame is expect to be one of the top teams in the country.

They carry a No. 7 ranking in both the US LBM Coaches and AP Poll’s, so expectations are high. With that comes some recognition, as four Irish players were named to the USA TODAY Sports preseason All-American team.

It’s fairly obvious to guess who made the list, but where they ended up is the bigger question. Find out below where each of the Notre Dame stars landed on this preseason All-American team.

As mentioned above, having Morrison and Watts on the second team is a bit low. It would have been an easier blow if one or the other was on the first team. Still a great list to be on, as four total members of the Notre Dame squad made it.

It’s hard to say they got this wrong, as it’s clear these are the best four Irish players on the team.
