Spring has sprung, or something like that, for Notre Dame football, which is back on the practice field doing football stuff for the first time since the 2025 season ended at Stanford over Thanksgiving weekend. There's talent all over a deep returning roster, which includes quarterback CJ Carr.

The Pod of Gold trio of Mike Berardino and Tom Noie of the South Bend (Ind) Tribune and WNDU sports coordinator Jackson Neill take a position-by-position look of what the Irish look like this spring.

They also discuss what the upcoming NFL draft might hold for Notre Dame and touch on the Dumpster fire that currently is Notre Dame basketball.

The episode ends with some significant transfer portal news for one of our three hosts.
