Notre Dame kicked off spring football for 2023 on Wednesday, and with the start of a new year of Irish football, we learned that six players from the 2022 roster are no longer with the program – Will Schweitzer (LB), Caleb Johnson (OL), Philip Riley (CB), Justin Walters (S), Ron Powlus III (QB), and Josh Bryan (K). Even with the departures, Note Dame is still over 85 scholarships.
Of the six roster subtractions, three were for medical reasons, and three apparently more for football reasons. Will Schweitzer, Ron Powlus III, and Justin Walters all moved to medical scholarships and will stay at Notre Dame.
