Notre Dame Impact Players For 2025: No. 14 Defensive End Joshua Burnham originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Notre Dame is now 11 days away from kicking off the 2025 season against the Miami Hurricanes down in Hard Rock Stadium. The Irish will be relying on some impact players to get them through the home opener as well as getting them back to another run at the National Championship.

Two of the more inexperienced players heading into 2024 was true freshman left tackle Anthonie Knapp and redshirt sophomore right tackle Aamil Wagner. After a year of playing on some of the biggest stages in college football, offensive line coach Joe Rudolph is confident their experience will translate into growth.

Notre Dame football will need some of their offensive players to step up this fall, and our staff makes their best guess at who they are.
