The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will face the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Fiesta Bowl on January 1 but will have to do it without captains Kyle Hamilton and Kyren Williams. On Friday, the pair separately announced that they are opting out of the bowl game, and will be entering the 2022 NFL Draft.
This news about Kyle Hamilton has been expected for quite some time. After only 8 plays against the USC Trojans, Hamilton suffered a leg injury that has kept him out for the remaining five games.
