Notre Dame Football: Linebacker Shayne Simon enters the transfer portal

On Saturday, Notre Dame Fighting Irish linebacker, Shayne Simon, announced that he will be entering the transfer portal.

Simon was part of Notre Dame’s 2018 recruiting class and was a top 100 player overall according to the 247 Composite ranking. Shayne saw action in two games his freshman year as he took a redshirt. He didn’t quite develop into the player we thought Notre Dame was getting as he played in just 14 games over the next two years while totaling 26 total tackles from 2018-2020.

Simon did show a lot of promise in Notre Dame’s win over #1 Clemson in 2020, and he was in the mix for a major role as the Irish went into the spring.
