3. Braden Lenzy

Coming into the 2020 year, Braden Lenzy was a popular pick by many to become the next star at receiver for Notre Dame. He was coming off a 2019 season where he burst onto the scene, catching 11 passes, and scoring two touchdowns through the air.

Lenzy has the speed, the route running, and the make you miss moves that you love to see out of offensive playmakers. The only problem is injuries have really riddled his career. The Oregon native had multiple hamstring injuries which prevented him from only playing in a handful of games during the 2020 season.

The veteran receiver has all the tools to have a huge year between the lines on the field. He really just needs to stay healthy and be able to play for the whole season.
