Will Black is pushing for Notre Dame’s left tackle job after a five-star pedigree
Will Black enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-7, 316-pound redshirt freshman who is in the mix to start at left tackle for Notre Dame, after appearing in three games and 27 snaps as a freshman in 2025. He was a former five-star recruit and the No. 1 offensive tackle in multiple rankings, and reports from spring practice say he has already moved into the premium blind-side role. Why care? Rare size, elite recruiting pedigree, and a trajectory that screams long-term NFL upside—if he holds up technically and continues refining his consistency.
