Episode Details

Notre Dame football 2026 national championship expectations, Heisman Trophy debate, NFL Combine storylines, Anthony Knapp at left guard rumors, Christian Gray starting job questions, Quincy Porter injury updates, biggest trap game predictions, and Jordan Faison NFL Draft projections headline this week’s Friday Mailbag on Locked On Irish.
