NOTRE DAME NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Marcus Freeman has guided Notre Dame through a transformative period since arriving in 2022, inheriting a program that finished 11-1 in 2021 but had slipped to 5-7 the prior season. The Fighting Irish compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference while maintaining their independent football tradition, playing home games at their iconic stadium in South Bend, Indiana. Notre Dame's 100-player roster draws from one of the nation's most selective student bodies, with just 13,016 undergraduates across the entire university founded in 1842.
Freeman's tenure has emphasized defensive intensity and recruiting excellence tailored to Notre Dame's unique academic standards. The program competes annually for conference championships while balancing the demanding 80-scholarship limit imposed by the NCAA, making roster management critical to sustained competitiveness at the FBS level.
