Anthony Rezac admits adjustment to college has been fast

Marcus Freeman, head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program, brought in an impressive 2024 recruiting class, which will help him on his quest to bring a national championship back to South Bend, Ind. One of those individuals who will be looking to help Freeman achieve that goal is quarterback Anthony Rezac.

Rezac opted to leave high school early and has already enrolled at Notre Dame. Earlier in the offseason, as the Fighting Irish began their preparations for summer practices, the class of 2024 quarterback spoke on his time on campus thus far.

“It’s been fast, you know? Getting here, learning the offense, starting school. Yeah, just fast so far, but it’s been a good process,” said Rezac.

Rezac might have to wait a year or two before he is able to contribute to Notre Dame’s success directly on the field. However, his early start to his collegiate career could possibly give him the inside track and also push his teammates in practice. For now, the freshman appears to be doing his best to adapt and become acquainted with the college lifestyle.

Riley Leonard reveals the biggest difference in playing at Notre Dame

Riley Leonard made a big jump this offseason, leaving Duke and transferring to Notre Dame, where he’s in line to be the starting quarterback. And so far, Leonard has noticed some differences between the two places.

Speaking at the Manning Passing Academy recently, Leonard dished on the differences. The biggest ones manifest mostly from the fervent following that Notre Dame football has.

“Obviously there’s a lot of social media attention that comes with it. I don’t really go on social media, so I’m not sure on that scale,” Leonard said.

While it was evident he didn’t want to disparage the Duke faithful, Leonard acknowledged there’s a different level of investment around South Bend.

“But I will say, walking around South Bend, you drive 15, 20, 30 minutes off campus, you’re still going to get some diehard Irish fans, which is really cool and I embrace,” Leonard said. “I think just the community as a whole is probably more into the football side of things, for sure.”
