The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are in a dogfight every year for the best talent across the country. They also have an inner struggle going on to achieve the 85 man scholarship limit each fall.

It’s a task they fail at consistently, but they have been close in some years. With all the natural and unnatural attrition that the football program goes through each offseason, it’s a lot harder than one might think to hit that 85 man target.

This chart should give you a better feel for how the Notre Dame football recruiting effort will manage its numbers moving forward in the 2019 cycle. Unlike a lot of charts like this, the players are categorized by their academic year. An asterisk denotes that the player is eligible for a 5th year. (Crawford gets 2 because he may be eligible for a 6th).

While a handful of these players may not be expected to return to Notre Dame in 2019, they may still be on this chart until official word is given that they are headed elsewhere.
