Episode Synopsis

Marcus Freeman took Notre Dame to the national title game last year, and expectations are even higher heading into 2025. Tyler Wojciak is joined by the Owner & Publisher of Irish Illustrated, Tim Prister, for Part One of their two-part conversation ahead of Notre Dame’s 2025 season. They discuss the current state of the program, expectations for Marcus Freeman in Year Four, the quarterback battle between Kenny Minchey and CJ Carr, what makes Jeremiyah Love an all-time great and Eli Raridon so intriguing, and how new defensive coordinator Chris Ash can maintain the standard set by Al Golden. They also evaluate Pete Bevacqua’s first year as athletic director and what needs to happen for Notre Dame to take the next step. Part Two drops tomorrow with stories from Tim’s 44 years covering the Irish. (0:00) - Intro(2:25) - Marcus Freeman’s Growth(10:28) - Chris Ash(15:25) - QB Battle Update(22:48) - Jeremiyah Love’s Greatness(25:37) - Eli Raridon’s Potential(28:38) - Biggest Concern(25:25) - Evaluating Pete Bevacqua Follow Tyler on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TylerWojciakFollow Locked On Irish on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnIrishFollow Locked On Irish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonirishpod/?hl=enSubscribe to Locked on Irish on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC749D_LgykIE8WLu7W4UQlQ Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! 5-Hour ENERGYTime to fuel up and turn it up with 5-hour ENERGY®️ Transfusion! Go to https://5hourenergy.com today and use my promo code LOCKEDONGOLF to receive 20% off your order. This offer is only valid until September 30th on one order and cannot be used with other promotions.
