Notre Dame has found its starting quarterback.
The Fighting Irish announced Tuesday that CJ Carr would be the team’s starter against Miami. Carr had been competing with Kenny Minchey to succeed Riley Leonard after Notre Dame went to the national championship game in 2024.
There hadn’t been much public separation between the two quarterbacks over the course of fall camp. On Sunday, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said “we’re still in competition” though he admitted that a decision on a QB needed to come fairly quickly.
“We’ll go back and evaluate today’s practice today,” Freeman said via the Athletic. “Make a decision. We’ve got to make a decision here soon. I don’t know when we’ll make it. I don’t want to put a timeline on it.”
