Notre Dame pre-fall camp roster update: Who had the biggest weight changes since spring?
Notre Dame’s top seven weight gainers from summer workouts are all mid-year freshmen enrollees. Five of the top six leaders among veterans were all linemen. The exception to the latter? Junior tight end Michael Mayer. You know, the team’s leading returning receiver.
Mayer was among the 16 Irish scholarship players who gained at least 10 pounds since the spring, according to the team’s Thursday afternoon roster update. Nineteen others are now 5 to 10 pounds heavier compared to their listing on the spring roster. Five scholarship players lost at least 5 pounds.
