Notre Dame football 2024 practice storylines: Camp news, depth chart predictions by Fighting Irish insiders

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish began fall camp on July 31 ahead of their season-opening showdown against Texas A&M. Head coach Marcus Freeman led the Fighting Irish to a 10-3 record last season, which included a resounding 40-8 victory over Oregon State in the Sun Bowl. However, Freeman and Irish fans everywhere are looking for the Notre Dame football roster to take the next step forward and compete for a national championship in 2024.

The schedule sets up well for the new Notre Dame football roster.

Top Notre Dame Fighting Irish practice storylines

Replacing standout left tackle Joe Alt will be a top priority for Freeman. Alt, who became the Irish's first unanimous All-American tackle in 30 years last season, was the No. 5 overall draft pick. He skipped Notre Dame's bowl game, allowing freshman Charles Jagusah to start in the 40-8 blowout victory over Oregon State. Jagusah seems poised to secure the position for 2024 despite having played in just two games last year.

With right tackle Blake Fisher also heading to the NFL, Notre Dame faces uncertainty at both tackle spots. Tosh Baker and Aamil Wagner are anticipated to compete for the right tackle position, but Guerby Lambert is also a strong contender. The freshman, who enrolled early in January, was ranked as the eighth-best tackle prospect in his class by 247Sports. Get more updates on the Notre Dame RB at Irish Illustrated .

The Fighting Irish will have to replace the production from running back Audric Estime, who rushed for 1,341 yards and 18 touchdowns last season. Notre Dame's running back room is stacked with talent, with the likes of Jeremiyah Love, Jadarian Price and Devyn Ford ready to lead the charge. Love is presumed to take over as the lead back after averaging 5.4 yards per carry and producing 462 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns as a freshman.

Price is also expected to be a full-go two years following an Achilles injury, while Ford has proven capable of being a productive running back. Ford rushed for six touchdowns in his first two seasons at Penn State and shown his unselfishness since joining the Fighting Irish. Ford switched to the defensive side of the football in Notre Dame football spring camp, but is now back at running back heading into the 2024 season.
