I’ll be announcing after the Miami visit,” he said. “I visited Ole Miss and UCF, they were nice, and just went to Illinois. And my top two is Illinois and Miami.”


He says the task for UM’s coaches this weekend are to make him comfortable with this being a talented overall defense. He doesn’t want to be part of a group that doesn’t succeed overall.

“I don’t want it to be just me (making plays),” Brantley said.
UCF does have that lazy river. We just can't compete with that.

I’d guess it’s Zaquan and Poyser at safety, Damari at Nickel, OJ/Brantley/Lucas at CB.

Still need another safety that can spell them and a Nickel to spell or compete with Damari. Cross training probably has Damari/Lucas able to play Safety as well. Dylan Day in the 2nd string and if Markeith sticks around.. that’s your DB room right there.

Plenty of snaps to go around to your top 3 boundary corners. Brantley has never finished a season healthy in college.

Facts. We need at least 6-7 starting-capable DBs for Notre Dame. Sky is still the limit for Zaquan and he'll get plenty of snaps when he's ready. But he didn't show he was ready to be a starter last season, most likely needs to be worked in slowly in 2025. Hopefully he's plug and play by mid season and then puts together 1.5 to 2.5 quality years as a starter before heading off to the league.

It will be insanely unpopular but this is also where Jaden Harris was perfectly fine in 2023

He’s clearly not a starter but he was fine as a role player

Was going to say the same thing.

But he’s exposed now and it’s on tape. It might be too easy to target him.

Maybe you can get him by in a drive or 2 a game. Give him clear assignments and coach him on the sideline before he goes in so he knows exactly what is going on. Also he is good on STs.
