Notre Dame appointed redshirt freshman CJ Carr as its starting quarterback, overcoming competition from sophomore Kenny Minchey. Carr, a former top recruit, will begin his tenure against Miami on August 31. He succeeds veteran Riley Leonard, instrumental in the team's national championship run. Coach Marcus Freeman emphasized the importance of providing support and protection for the new starter, advising against overwhelming him with responsibilities. Effective run and pass protection, along with solid defensive plays, are essential for Carr's successful transition to the starting role.
Carr, whose grandfather is former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, will make his first career start at Miami on Aug. 31.
