@RivalsFriedman asked me to contribute to his Fact or Fiction today. His prompt: Riley Leonard will lead Notre Dame to the College Football Playoff.

The two of us agreed.

As I suggested in today's intel thread, four-star cornerback Jahmir Joseph has committed to Penn State. Notre Dame had recruited Joseph as both a cornerback and safety. Notre Dame may need to expand its safety board if it doesn't add JaDon Blair and/or can't hold onto Ivan Taylor.
