When Notre Dame’s running back depth chart was decimated by dismissals and early departures for the NFL, the Notre Dame coaching staff had to look to its current roster for some answers in the spring. One of those answers was sophomore wide receiver Jafar Armstrong. A few months later it looks like Armstrong will be providing much more than just insurance. He could be in line for a major role at running back this fall.
Following last season’s running explosion, Notre Dame lost Josh Adams to the NFL a year early. Then came the dismissals of both Deon McIntosh and CJ Holmes.
