The Notre Dame Fighting Irish’s Hail Mary to improve their defensive line has been batted down.
Clemson graduate Scott Pagano told the South Bend Tribune’s Tyler James that he will be joining either the Oklahoma Sooners and Oregon Ducks for the 2017 season. Pagano announces his final decision Friday.
Pagano would have been a welcome addition to a defensive line sorely in need of a 6-foot-3, 295-pound space eater. The Irish have already lost junior Elijah Taylor to a foot injury which will sideline him until at least the summer.
