Entering his third drive as the starting quarterback for Notre Dame, DeShone Kizer had run a total of eight plays for a combined 23 yards. Down by one, with 80 yards to go and less than two minutes on the clock to do it, the odds of a game-winning drive seemed unlikely. Kizer targeted star

For all intents and purposes, the Irish this offseason look an awful lot like the team heading into the fall two season ago. And that’s not necessarily a good thing. Heading into the 2016 season, Notre Dame had a number of question marks on both sides of the ball. Gone were the leading wide receiver

That’s so Browns. In the hours and days after Tuesday’s 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline, this was the phrase I kept constantly hearing across sports media. Whether it be ESPN, CBS, Fox Sports 1 or any other platform, at least one segment in any show’s programming was seemingly dedicated to ridiculing the Cleveland Browns for

November 28th, 2015. Stanford, California. Josh Adams is running at full speed. He’s 35 yards from the end zone. Nothing but green grass between him and the goal line.

Just about nothing went as expected for Notre Dame this season. Heck, it even ended with it raining on it in Los Angeles. The 2016 season started with high expectations; the Irish were ranked as a top-10 squad in both the AP and Coaches preseason polls. But that first stop on their season-long journey would

Former Irish starting quarterback DeShone Kizer was drafted with the No. 52 overall pick — the 20th pick in the second round — by the Cleveland Browns during day two of the NFL Draft on Friday night. Kizer, ranked by many scouts as a top-five quarterback prospect in this year’s draft, played in 25 games over his two-year career, amassing a total

There has never been a doubt about Brandon Wimbush’s ability. The Under Armour All-American, Elite 11 participant and New Jersey Gatorade Player of the year arrived on campus in the fall of 2015 with exceptional credentials, but found himself ushered into a waiting game as first Malik Zaire and later DeShone Kizer handled the reigns for the

A little more than a month ahead of the NFL Draft, Notre Dame hosted its annual Pro Day, as eight former Irish athletes returned to campus to participate in workouts for NFL scouts. This year’s Notre Dame draft class does not appear to be as deep as last year’s, but interest was still high mainly

Junior Irish quarterback DeShone Kizer will declare for the NFL draft, he announced Monday via a video on Bleacher Report. Kizer had two seasons of eligibility left, but he is regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in this year’s draft class. Kizer’s decision came just three days after he was named a captain for
