Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman believes we haven't seen the ceiling for what quarterback CJ Carr can do on the field. "He has the potential to be one of the best quarterbacks in college football, not only this year but in my time at Notre Dame." "He made some big-time throws against us that I was like, 'OK, that's an NFL arm,'" the coach said. Quarterback play was a sore point for Notre Dame immediately preceding and early into Freeman's tenure. Freeman got Notre Dame to the national championship game in 2024, and the team narrowly missed out on the College Football Playoff last year.
