Notre Dame defensive backs have starred early of late. Is Leonard Moore next to join that list?
When it comes to cornerbacks, virtually no one has been better with identifying and developing talent than Notre Dame defensive backs coach Mike Mickens. Mickens has put his mark on Notre Dame stars such as Tariq Bracy, Benjamin Morrison, Christian Gray and more. He's done this all at a position where Notre Dame has traditionally struggled to recruit top talent.
Notre Dame football's social media accounts have already started to hype up the Round Rock, TX product and it looks like the hype train is only just beginning after he recorded another interception shown below. The competition for snaps is expected to be a tough one for Moore, however, many Notre Dame fans will remember Benjamin Morrison's breakout just two years ago. So far that path is strikingly similar to Moore's.
Both Morrison and Moore came into Notre Dame during the summer, opting out of enrolling early, and both were not expected to make a huge impact before the season started up. As it stands now, Moore likely is CB-3, with Morrison and Chance Tucker ahead of him at the boundary corner position. However, with Morrison still banged-up from an offseason shoulder issue and Tucker not impressing from public practice clips shared online, Moore could inject himself into serious playing time quickly.Defensive back as a whole has been a position the Irish have consistently been able to get production from freshman at in recent years.
