Overview

  • Freshman running back Kedren Young tore the ACL in his right knee during 2025 preseason practice and will miss the entire season following surgery.
  • Sixth-year tight end Kevin Bauman suffered an articular cartilage injury in his left knee and announced his retirement after confirming he will require surgery.
  • Bauman’s decision ends a career marked by previous season-ending knee injuries in 2021, 2022 and a recovery year in 2023.
  • The Irish’s depth at running back now features Jeremiyah Love, Jadarian Price and Aneyas Williams while the tight end group is led by returner Eli Raridon.
  • Notre Dame opens its 2025 campaign on August 31 at Miami under coach Marcus Freeman’s leadership with championship hopes intact despite early setbacks.
