Mike Denbrock believes that Riley Leonard has built trust within the offense

Notre Dame Offensive Coordinator Mike Denbrock at Notre Dame spring football practice Thursday, March 7, 2024, at the Irish Athletics Center in South Bend.

One of the biggest aspects of an offense being able to operate at a high-level is trust, and it looks like Notre Dame quarterback [autotag]Riley Leonard[/autotag] is building that.

When meeting with the media, offensive coordinator [autotag]Mike Denbrock[/autotag] went into depth on the similarities that he has seen between former LSU star [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] and his current quarterback. Both of them have earned the trust inside the offense, giving the Irish play caller confidence in whenever he calls.

You’ve seen it recently with Notre Dame, as Tommy Rees’ final season he never had the trust to let Tyler Buchner or Drew Pyne open the offense.

“This is how I view Jayden and I view Riley the same way”

Denbrock’s trust in Daniels led to a Heisman Trophy and one of the most potent offenses in 2023. If that same trust is built with Leonard, the Irish offense is going to light up the scoreboard starting later this week.
