The roster and scholarship chart for the Notre Dame Fighting is a living breathing thing at all times. Commitments, transfers in, transfers out, and position changes happen every day. The Monday after the Fiesta Bowl really got things moving with a flurry of announcements with the promise of more to come over the coming days, weeks, and months.
Forget what you know about the 85 man scholarship limit. The COVID-19 pandemic created an extra year of eligibility for everyone that played in 2020, and it gets a little complicated. And that’s fine — it’s best to just look at it as the 85 man NEED.
Below you’ll find the updated scholarship chart for the 2022 season. Just a few notes before you browse:
- Usually, I keep players on the chart until an announcement is made. As of right now, this is true and not true. Some players I have taken off of the chart as I expect a move (C’Bo Flemister for example) and some players I have an eye on but are still on the chart (K.J. Wallace for example).
- The 2019 recruiting class will be academic seniors in 2022 and that class is gutted. NO offensive skill players from that class are on the chart.
- Expect more changes — obviously.
