As the Notre Dame Fighting Irish prepare to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores this Saturday, they released the depth charts. This week there are a few slight changes that are subtle, but could potentially mean quite a bit.

OFFENSE

Notre Dame Depth Chart — Offense

WR	TE	LT	LG	C	RG	RT	WR	WR	RB	QB
WR	TE	LT	LG	C	RG	RT	WR	WR	RB	QB
Miles Boykin	Alize Mack	Liam Eichenberg	Alex Bars	Sam Mustipher	Tommy Kraemer	Robert Hainsey	Chris Finke	Chase Claypool	Jafar Armstrong	Brandon Wimbush
Kevin Austin	Nic Weishar	Jarrett Patterson	Dillan Gibbons	Trevor Ruhland	Josh Lugg	Aaron Banks	Joe Wilkens	Michael Young	OR Tony Jones Jr.	Ian Book
Javon McKinley	OR Cole Kmet						Lawrence Keys III		OR Dexter Williams
	Brock Wright								OR Avery Davis
									C’Bo Flemister

While the depth chart looks exactly the same as last week, Cole Kmet’s injury does change things up quite a bit with more action for both Nic Weishar and Brock Wright should be expected. Kelly had this to say about Kmet:

 “It’s more of a high-ankle sprain. He’s going to be limited. It’s going to take some time. I would think he’s doubtful for this week.”

DEFENSE

CB	FS	ROVER	DE	DT	DT	DE	BUCK	MIKE	SS	CB
CB	FS	ROVER	DE	DT	DT	DE	BUCK	MIKE	SS	CB
Julian Love	Alohi Gilman	Asmar Bilal	Daelin Hayes	Jonathan Bonner	Jerry Tillery	Khalid Kareem	Drue Tranquill	Te’von Coney	Jalen Elliott	Troy Pride Jr.
Donte Vaughn	Devin Studstill	Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah	OR Julian Okwara	Kurt Hinish	Jayson Ademilola	Ade Ogundeji	Jordan Genmark Heath	Bo Bauer	Nick Coleman	Tariq Bracy
	Nicco Fertitta		Justin Ademilola	OR Micah Dew-Treadway		Jamir Jones	Shayne Simon	Jonathan Jones	OR Houston Griffith

The depth chart this week gets a slight variation. The “OR” for Bo Bauer and Jonathan Jones is gone. Bo Bauer is now listed as the first man in at the MIKE linebacker spot. As a freshman, this is a huge deal for Bauer for a couple of reasons:

Te’von Coney will be heading to the NFL after this season and Bauer will have 3 years of eligiblity left.
Te’von Coney is going to need some rest at some point this season. His snap count is a little high after 97 plays against Ball State.

SPECIAL TEAMS

KICKOFF	PLACEKICKER	PUNTER	LONG SNAPPER	HOLDER	PUNT RETURNER	KICK RETURNER
KICKOFF	PLACEKICKER	PUNTER	LONG SNAPPER	HOLDER	PUNT RETURNER	KICK RETURNER
Jonathan Doerer	Justin Yoon	Tyler Newsome	John Shannon	Ian Book	Chris Finke	Jafar Armstrong
Justin Yoon	Jonathan Doerer	Jeff Riney	Nic Weishar	Tyler Newsome	Alohi Gilman	Tony Jones Jr.

The big news here is that Jonathan Doerer is still the kickoff specialist even though he shanked a kickoff out of bounds for the second week in a row. The small news is that Nic Weishar is now listed as the next man in at Long Snapper over walk-on Michael Vinson. I’m not sure what that means, but the more Weishar — the better.

Editors’s Note: I will put the jersey numbers on the depth charts a little later. Someone asked last week, and I forgot, and then ran out of time. Should be updated late Tuesday night. Thanks.
