Hinish will start in place of graduate student defensive tackle Howard Cross III, who is out this week with an ankle injury. Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman said that Cross’ injury is not a long-term concern, which is good news for an Irish team that can absolutely not afford to lose No. 56 for a potential College Football Playoff game.
Mukam and Sevillano will serve as Hinish’s backups this week against Virginia. The latter made his college debut Saturday against Florida State.
