Joe Alt Drafted 5th Overall by Los Angeles Chargers
Notre Dame's Star Offensive Tackle Makes History
Former Underrated Recruit Now an Elite Prospect
South Bend, IN - The Los Angeles Chargers made history on Thursday night, selecting Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Alt's selection marks the highest for a Notre Dame player since Quenton Nelson went sixth overall in 2018.
Alt had an impressive career at Notre Dame, starting 42 games at left tackle and earning consensus All-American honors as a senior. He helped lead the Fighting Irish to two College Football Playoff appearances and a pair of ACC Championships.
Alt's selection is a testament to his hard work and development. He was an underrated recruit coming out of high school, but quickly emerged as one of the top offensive tackles in the country. His size, athleticism, and technique make him an ideal fit for the Chargers' offensive line.
The Chargers are excited to add Alt to their team. He is a young, talented player with a bright future. He is expected to compete for a starting role immediately and help the Chargers improve their offensive line, which has been a weakness in recent years.
Alt's selection is also a great day for Notre Dame football. It shows that the program is producing elite talent despite not having a recent national championship. Alt's success will inspire future Notre Dame players to dream big and achieve their goals.
