CJ Carr’s Heisman Hopes and Backup Battle
Description
Notre Dame’s 2026 season looks promising with CJ Carr back under center, already heating up as a Heisman contender after a breakout redshirt freshman year. Carr’s efficiency and big-play ability helped set school records, but the real test is whether he can elevate his game to championship level. The team’s biggest concern? Backup quarterback depth — Carr is the only QB with game experience, leaving the coaching staff to develop untested talent like Blake Hebert, Noah Grubbs, and Teddy Jarrard. Can they balance maximizing Carr’s potential while preparing a reliable successor? And can the offense evolve into a true aerial threat to complement Notre Dame’s running game?
