It’s really only two months in the grand scheme of things, and there will be much more to talk about in the middle of July with media days — so why not deal with the profiles before then? Welcome to the Triple Threat series.
We will profile every player on Notre Dame’s roster, but I’m going to give you three at a time to save some time. Every Triple Threat post will include one offensive player, one defensive player, and one newcomer (freshman or transfer) until we have to do some different combos down the road. So let’s get started with today’s Triple Threat: WR Jordan Faison #6 LB Drayk Bowen #34 RB Jonaz Walton #20 JORDAN FAISON #6 HEIGHT 5-11 WEIGHT 185 CLASS SENIOR HOMETOWN FORT LAUDERDALE, FL HIGH SCHOOL PINE CREST I think we can stop referring to Jordan Faison as “former walk-on” or “lacrosse player” moving forward.
Jordan made the decision to go all in for football this spring despite being a national champion on the lacrosse team — with the possibility of another title looking good this spring. But… he wants that team glory for football. Faison has been better than solid and was one of Carr’s most reliable targets last year because Jordan is a guy that seemingly always finds a way to get open.
Without question he steps into 2026 as Notre Dame’s best receiver, and he’s been listed as one of the nation’s best for 2026 by multiple outlets. DRAYK BOWEN #34 HEIGHT 6-2 WEIGHT 232 CLASS SENIOR HOMETOWN ST. JOHN, IN HIGH SCHOOL ANDREAN Drayk Bowen is a two year starter at linebacker and a returning captain.
