Reliable Notre Dame interior depth with starter-ready upside
In 2025, Joe Otting emerged as a dependable center for Notre Dame, logging 380 snaps and allowing just 4 pressures, and his 2026 role remains valuable even if he starts as the backup behind Ashton Craig. He’s a former four-star recruit with real positional flexibility, sturdy 6-4, 308-pound size, and the kind of next-man-up steadiness Notre Dame loves up front. The best part? He’s not just a warm body—he’s the sort of lineman who can keep the offense humming if injuries hit, which makes him a smart fit for teams that prize toughness, readiness, and depth.
