Eli Raridon looks like a shadow of his younger self. He had to deal with a nasty ACL injury in high school, as well as two ACL injuries during his time at ND.
Cooper Flanagan could have been the man, but again, unfortunately, injuries derailed him last year (Achilles tendon), and for a decent portion of this year. It's a terrible things, since he was really stepping up his game.
He is expected to be back sometime this year.
Kevin Bauman never got a chance to show his stuff, since he had the worst luck with injuries to the point of medical retirement.
I don't know how Jack Larsen is progressing. He's listed as TE3, behind Ty Washington.
I wouldn't be surprised if James Flanigan eventually seizes the starting role this year as a true freshman. He's definitely a high talent kind of guy, as will ian Premer be for 2026.
Assuming everyone can stay healthy, we'll be in a much stronger TE position for 2026.
