The 2022 Notre Dame football roster was headlined by the returns of defensive end Isaiah Foskey, guard Jarrett Patterson, and defensive tackle Jayson Ademilola giving Notre Dame a veteran core for the first season under new head coach Marcus Freeman. Offensively, the Irish were supposed to be led by sophomore Tyler Buchner, but after he was lost for the regular season in game two, the reigns were handed over to Drew Pyne, who had an up-and-down campaign even with All-American tight end Michael Mayer catching everything thrown his way.
The 2022 roster attempted to supplement holes with transfers like safety Brandon Joseph, but the defense fell off from 2021 when Freeman led as defensive coordinator before taking over as head coach. Freshman corner Benjamin Morrison emerged as one of the best young defensive backs in the country to solidify a secondary that lost Cam Hart for the season early on.
