It’s back to football for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish after a bye week. On Saturday, it will be the Wake Forest Demon Deacons that will line up on the other side of the field on Senior Day. The Irish held back the release of the depth charts until Monday evening as they were likely solidifying where they are with the injuries on the team.

Rocco Spindler is out for the season with a knee injury, and the Irish will go with Billy Schrauth as the starter at guard. Zeke Correll is dealing with a concussion and although Ashton Craig is listed as the backup at center, we would likely see Andrew Kristofic there if Correll can’t go. Despite nagging hamstring issues, Jayden Thomas is still listed as the starter at wide receiver.
DEFENSE

No changes for the Notre Dame defense this week. They have been blessed this year as far as mostly being healthy — but the starting units and specialty packages have been very good all season as well. The unit is solid and should continue to shine in the final two games of the year.
SPECIAL TEAMS
2023 ND SPECIAL TEAMS DEPTH CHART

| KO | PK | P | LS | HOLDER | PR | KR |
| 32 Spencer Shrader | 32 Spencer Shrader | 14 Bryce McPherson | 65 Michael Vinson | 14 Bryce McFerson | 4 Chris Tyree | 22 Devyn Ford |
| 92 Zac Yoakam | 92 Zac Yoakam | 43 Ben Krimm | 51 Rino Monteforte | - | 80 Jordan Faison | 24 Jadarian Price |
No changes here either — although Chris Tyree’s performance against the Clemson Tigers does put a little bit of “why not Jeremiyah Love” in the brain. It’s not going to happen — I’m just saying.
