Notre Dame will have to replace both of its starting offensive tackles from 2023 as both Joe Alt and Blake Fisher have declared for the NFL Draft. Aamil Wagner and Tosh Baker will get the starts in the bowl game, and I discussed what I hope to see from them, and their skillsets, during this portion of the Midweek Rundown. I also discuss the overall talent at the position, which is quite good, and how the development at tackle will tell us a lot about Joe Rudolph as the line coach.
