Possessing a physical frame at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, Malachi Fields adds what should be considered a very productive and established presence to a Notre Dame receiver room that appears eager to add weapons.

An owner of consecutive 800-plus-yard receiving seasons with Virginia, the veteran receiver very simply understands how to win consistently at the catch point. Although you wouldn’t label him as the fastest or most explosive, his ability to utilize his size and frame to create consistent separation between the ball and the defender is second to none.

That’s not to mention the velcro hands, too. With a new signal-caller set to take center stage in South Bend post Riley Leonard, Fields’ addition delivers the Irish a very friendly and dependable target for the likes of Steve Angeli and CJ Carr.
