Leonard Moore, Jason Onye back for Notre Dame at BYU
Notre Dame returns defenders Leonard Moore and Jason Onye against the BYU Cougars.
Notre Dame's defensive line will welcome back two key players for their upcoming matchup against BYU. Defensive lineman Jason Onye has regained full availability this season, returning to the lineup after a recent absence. Cornerback Leonard Moore also rejoins the squad following a concussion that kept him sidelined during Notre Dame's game against Stanford.
However, the Irish will be without tight end Cooper Flanagan due to a left hamstring injury and cornerback Mark Zackery IV because of a concussion. Safety Brauntae Johnson, who wasn't on the recently released depth chart, is likely unavailable as well. Despite these setbacks, all other players listed on Notre Dame's two-deep depth chart are available for selection.
The updated availability list for the upcoming game against BYU was announced by the Notre Dame Football PR Team at 7:30 p.m. ET on October 17, 2026.
