Notre Dame football continues to face challenges with its kicking unit, with recent games highlighting missed extra points and field goals. Coach Marcus Freeman has ruled out the possibility of recruiting soccer players from Notre Dame's soccer team to handle kicking duties due to NCAA regulations on roster adjustments, which are already set for the season. This decision comes amid ongoing struggles, including missed kicks in a recent 25-10 victory over Boston College, where all three kickers faltered. Meanwhile, former Irish soccer standout Brandon Aubrey is making headlines in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys, becoming the first NFL kicker to convert five field goals of 60 yards or longer in a season. Other college teams, such as Clemson, have temporarily brought back retired kickers to address their issues. The debate over crossing over soccer players to football roles persists, but NCAA rules and roster constraints limit such options for Notre Dame.
