Notre Dame sits at 89 scholarships for 2019 after National Signing Day finalized the recruiting class for the year. That means there is a little bit of work for Brian Kelly and his staff to get down to 85 before the season starts. Here is the full breakdown of the current scholarships based on eligibility (not by academic year/class). One pre-emptive move we’ve indicated here is Darnell Ewell moving back to defense. This is conjecture on our part at this point.
