Receiver Micah Gilbert Looks To Take The Next Step This Season For Notre Dame
Emerging receiver Micah Gilbert aims to break through a crowded depth chart, honing his skills against top talent for a pivotal season.
The talent in Notre Dame's wide receiver room is exceptional, but the proven talent outside of returning senior Jordan Faison and returning redshirt junior Jaden Greathouse is relatively unproven. A lot of attention is being given to the two Ohio State transfers Mylan Graham and Quin cy Porter , understandably so. But there's another rising redshirt sophomore in the room that's looking to make a big splash this offseason.
Receiver Micah Gilbert looks to take that next step this offseason to solidify himself in the 2026 receiver rotation. "I would say I'm one of the very all-around receivers in the room, Gilbert shared. "I can play almost any position.
So the main goal going into the season was just consistency, being a guy you can count on all the time in the game, crunch time and at the start of the a game. So just being consistent and being able to move around and do positions knowing the whole offense is my goal this offseason. " In 2025, Gilbert was the first receiver to haul in a touchdown pass from quarterback CJ Carr down in Hard Rock Stadium.
Unfortunately, a nagging hand injury kept Gilbert from consistently being in the rotation and his usage fell to the wayside. This is a loaded room with 15 scholarship players, the North Carolina native is remaining focused on his main goal. "The main thing is to just focus on your path and focus on your goal," Gilbert shared.
