Notre Dame hasn’t come close to publishing an official depth chart for 2017 just a couple practices into spring, so consider this depth chart a best guess/work in progress as we read through the tea leaves of spring practice and make our best guess as to the current pecking order of the Irish lineup.
Note: classes listed at for the current school year not the classes the players will be in the fall semester for the 2017 season.
