Notre Dame football is set to start fall camp today, and the biggest question surrounding the 2025 version of the Fighting Irish is who will be named the starting quarterback.
The two main combatants are CJ Carr and Kenny Minchey, with Blake Hebert having a very outside chance at winning the job. It will be a very interesting battle between the two (or three), as head coach Marcus Freeman did not name a starter following spring practices.

Carr, the grandson of former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr, threw for 170 yards on 14-of-19 passing with two touchdowns and an interception in the spring…
