Irish senior receiver Torii Hunter Jr. will not seek a fifth year, opting to instead pursue a professional baseball career, the 2016 captain announced Thursday in a tweet. “After long consideration and prayer, I’ve decided not to pursue a fifth year at the University of Notre Dame, but rather follow a dream of playing professional

Torii Hunter Jr. loved playing baseball growing up. He played all through high school and was drafted by a major-league team — just like he always dreamed. “That was a childhood dream of mine,” Hunter said. “In high school, that’s what I thought I was going to do. I was going to play baseball and

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Notre Dame’s season has often been defined by quick strikes — long passes completed by the Irish offense, or long passes allowed by a beleaguered defense. In the 28-27 loss to Navy on Saturday in Jacksonville, though, it was slow, slogging drives by the Midshipmen that did the Irish in. Notre Dame (3-6)

After a promising first half, the Irish dropped their fifth game of the season, 17-10 to Stanford, failing to put any points on the board after halftime. A series of lucky breaks in the first half allowed the Irish (2-5) to jump out to a 10-0 lead. The Cardinal (4-2) dominated on time of possession

With a 2-4 record midway through October, it’s safe to say Notre Dame’s season is not going as planned. However, when the Irish host Stanford on Saturday, they will take on a team in the same boat. Stanford opened the season ranked eighth in the country in the AP preseason poll, and the Cardinal promptly rolled off wins

Through five games, Notre Dame’s offensive statistics were some of the best in the nation. Last Saturday’s game at North Carolina State, though, told a different story — though the Irish (2-4) can thank Hurricane Matthew for that one. Saying the unit is happy to be back in South Bend this weekend may just be one

RALEIGH, N.C. — While Hurricane Matthew battered Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday, at the end of the day both North Carolina State and Notre Dame headed to the locker room dripping wet and covered in mud; the Wolf Pack perhaps more so after players took celebratory slides across the Carter-Finley Stadium grass — or lake,

Three weeks into the 2016 season, and Notre Dame is unranked and out of contention for the College Football Playoff. This past Saturday’s loss to No. 8 Michigan State have the Irish (1-2) off to their worst start to a season since 2011. “It’s never a good feeling,” senior linebacker and captain James Onwualu

Another star performance from junior quarterback Deshone Kizer. Timely stops from a defense that couldn’t find any a quarter earlier. A narrow fourth-down conversion. A tipped catch barely an inch in bounds to start it all off. The ball back in Kizer’s hands with Notre Dame needing only one score and having plenty of time.
