CBS Top 150 Players in College Football

[IrishMike409]

Love
M Fields
Jagusah
Moore
Craig

All made the list.

Who from ND was left off, and has a case to be in that top 150?

Wagner was just so solid last year. He was good and consistent. We badly needed someone to be consistent, and he delivered.

Bowen was an absolute monster all year, and it seemed like he kept getting better as the year went on. He should be a leader on the D and someone who makes plays and racks up tackles.

 

[iLOVEtohurdle41]

Fields made it.....damn. wasn't anticipating that.

Greathouse and Fields going to be best 1, 2 punch at receiver in awhile for us.

 

[ZibbyQuinn]

Gotta think one of the LBs rises

 

[futuredomer]

Jaylen Sneed and Jadarian Price are both top 150 players!

Absolutely Wagner ahead of Jagusah. He's a proven commodity. No knock on Jagusah but the sample size is still pretty small. Wagner was an absolute rock last year.

If Cade Klubnik is the second best player in all of CFB, IMO it is a down year.

I thought the list was pretty flawed. Look no further than the ND players. Moore below Jagusah who has not even played 3 full games ? Lazy list in my opinion.

5. Jeremiyah Love | RB | Notre Dame​

Physical, fast, and explosive. Sick hurdler. Averaged 7.0 YPC with 15 rushing TDs. Also a receiving threat with vision and patience. Runs behind one of the nation's top OL units. Notre Dame will ride him early and often in 2025.

19. Malachi Fields | WR | Notre Dame​

Virginia transfer with tight end size and physicality. Logged over 1,700 snaps and totaled 19 explosive plays and 14 contested catches. Can win vertically or underneath by breaking tackles. Great fit next to Jaden Greathouse. Big-time breakout potential in 2025.

30. Charles Jagusah | OT/OG | Notre Dame​

Injured most of 2024 but returned to play RG vs. Penn State and LT vs. Ohio State. Massive (6-7, 330) with knock-back power, strong anchor and rare mobility as a puller. Top OL prospect in a loaded room. Could rise quickly with a full, healthy season.

41. Leonard Moore | DB | Notre Dame​

Long, fluid corner with elite recovery speed and sticky man coverage. Logged 2 INTs and 13 PBUs as a true freshman. Rarely beaten clean — even when matched stride-for-stride. Notre Dame's got another good one in the secondary.

123. Ashton Craig | C | Notre Dame​

Only played 159 snaps before an ACL ended his 2024, but the tape flashes big upside. Quick to the second level, strong grip, and excellent in pass pro. Moves well as a puller and maintains balance through contact. Could emerge as a top center in 2025.

This list is trash but OSU has 5 players in the top 50 to notre dame's 5 players in the totality of the list of 150 lol

ND is loaded with talent. QB room loaded, Rb's room loaded. Oline loaded. WR upgraded. TE weaker than usual but still not a bad group.
DE's loaded. DT in good shape. LB's loaded. DB's loaded.
DC is only real concern on coaching staff and I think between Freeman and Mickens they will pick up the slack.

Notre Dame is a very wide team (they go 3 rows deep at most positions) but they lack height/upside in a desperate way. Which is why when guys like Nico Iamaleava are available, ND HAS GOT TO POUNCE.

Instead its crickets.

To add...

I fear that ND can't even see it from this angle, they are too close to the situation, too ignorant, too naive, too stupid, too cheap, too old ... all of the above maybe? i don't know .. but something has got to give.

ND is going into new seasons with essentially a negligible chance of winning a national title, basically needing all the luck in the world and everything needing to break right in order to win a national title and it shouldn't be that way with the kind of revenue ND is pulling in from football.

All due respect, we have no clue if the QB room is “…loaded…” until games are played.

RB? Sure.
OL? Sure.

Complete and utter jibberish. I have no idea what you are even trying to say. Hopefully your mom gets home soon and makes you lunch because your acting like a kid with nothing to do but annoy people. Yeesh terrible troll effort even for you.

ND has 3 legit options at QB. That equals loaded sport.

It's certainly more loaded than a lot of places.

Legit based on what? Spring Football?

The QB room is a down grade from the experience Riley Leonard provided in 2024, and we are simply hopeful of what you say.

They are all pretty averagish to below average quality prospects by HIGH P4 standards (minus CJ Carr who is coming off a major arm injury that cost him the 2024 season)

Can't every school that is replacing their starting QB say the same ? Ohio St comes to mind but those folks are quite confident in their QB room also. " Simply hopeful" is what you are when there are legitimate questions about skill level. That's not the case at ND.

I have high hopes for Jagusah, but he sure as hell doesn’t deserve to be on this list based on three games over two seasons!

I am as hopeful as anyone. That said, referring to our QB room as "...loaded..." seems far fetched to me, based on the lack of experience in the room. I would rather see actual games played first against real competition.

Again, the RB room and OL room, I 100% agree.

 

[chaseball]

Agreed with the previous post BUT its more than lack of experience its lack of raw-talent too.

Angeli is a low 4 star, Minchey is a mid 4-star, and Carr is a high 4-star. All of the best QB-prospects have shunned ND and signed with other schools over the last several years. ND is working with tier 2 and tier 3 QB prospects from the last several recruiting cycles.

Also, NDs best position groups IMO:

OL, LB, and CB (especially with the off-season emergence of Cree Thomas)

RB is the best position on the team

J Love is a stud .. just not that impressed with the rest of the players on the depth chart. They are more 'aite' than anything else.

 

[echowaker]

Right, it's not a knock against him. Leonard Moore has shown to be outstanding in his debut season in high leverage situations.

Well stated, Jagusah has zero business on that list, if you base it on production. Leonard Moore? Absolutely.

When you have Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate to throw to, if I were a Buckeye fan I would be confident with the next Ohio St. QB as well.

We could have 12 guys on that last.

You're correct: This team is loaded.

Let's see now:

2024 - WIll Howard -- very low 3*
2023 - JJ McCarthy -- 4* (6.0 ranked #5 QB on rivals, CJ Carr is 6.0 ranked #4 QB on rivals)
2022 - Stetson Bennett -- 2* (need I say more)
2021 -- Mac Jones -- 4* (comparable to Minchey -- MJ was #9, Minchey #12, not as highly ranked as CJ Carr)
2020 -- Joe Burrow -- 3*

So, of the last five National Champions CJ Carr is ranked higher than all of them, and Kenny Minchey is ranked higher than 3 of them. So, if they are tier 2 and 3 QB prospects (which they most definitely aren't) then I like our chances!!!!

Hold up brother.

Offensive line just aight?

Did you think shuler was just aight when he knocked the ball out of the 5 star georgia RB?

Leonard Moore is just aight...Ben Morrison disagrees

Jadarian just aight? We're you thinking this when he did that kickreturn for a TD against top 10 USC?

Greathouse is just aight, even when he torched penn state and OSU?

Gray is aight, just a sophomore returning a pick 6 against SC and the game winning interception against penn state.

Reality is these players that are just aight, 95% of teams would kill to have them and we got them!

These dogs are proven and battle tested and come into this upcoming season even stronger and faster.

 

[IrishMike409]

Ha! I'm glad you remembered that.

I was damn close with that prediction. I was also the guy saying that "running the table" was not unrealistic the week after the Northern game.

I really have to dig into the schedule before I go with 12-0. It's gonna be a bitch to go down and win at Miami. Obviously A&M is gonna be even better in Elko's second season. Those are 2 tough games early.

You know me.....maybe the biggest homer on the board. I'll likely breakdown the schedule and find myself predicting 12-0.......but not gonna do it quite yet.

Call me overconfident, but i don't think Miami will be that tough of an opponent. They beat Florida and FSU in a down year and lost to Syracuse and Iowa State to finish the year. I have not been impressed by them. They should have lost to Cal too. If ND picks it up where it left off, I'm predicting a 2-3 possession win.

Yeah, you are overconfident.
