Notre Dame Blue-Gold Game rosters, draft results

Notre Dame spent Wednesday morning drafting the teams for the upcoming Blue-Gold Game.

The Irish split their roster in half for the annual scrimmage by selecting two captains and head coaches to assemble teams via a draft. Former Notre Dame running back and current student Jerome Bettis was the draft’s commissioner and tossed the coin to determine the first pick. From there, teams alternated selections from a specific position group until all players from that position were chosen. All graduate students were pre-assigned to teams.

Quarterback Tyler Buchner will not play in the game due to ankle injury suffered while descending a flight of stairs Tuesday evening, head coach Marcus Freeman said. He walked into the draft wearing a brace on his right ankle. Quarterback Drew Pyne was not draftable and will play for both teams.

Other players out for the game are defensive tackle Jayson Ademilola, tight end Cane Berrong, linebacker JD Bertrand, center Pat Coogan, wide receiver Avery Davis, cornerback Cam Hart, defensive tackle Aidan Keanaaina, offensive lineman Billy Schrauth, offensive lineman Joey Tanona, offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson and wide receiver Joe Wilkins Jr.

Cornerback Jayden Bellamy, running back Chris Tyree and defensive end Tyson Ford are questionable. Offensive tackle Tosh Baker, safety Houston Griffith, rover Jack Kiser, running back Jadarian Price, wide receiver Lorenzo Styles and wide receiver Jayden Thomas are probable.

The Blue-Gold Game is Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. It will be streamed on Peacock premium. Defensive line coach Al Washington will lead the Blue team, while running backs coach Deland McCullough is the Gold head coach. Griffith is the Blue captain and Hart is the Gold captain.
