In a surprising move, Notre Dame safety D.J. Brown announced on Instagram that he is coming back to play one more year for the Irish.
The move was surprising because just about everything I’ve heard was that Brown had played his last down at Notre Dame, and would not pursue a sixth season in South Bend or anywhere else. Whatever needed to change — changed.
Brown has been a starter at safety and a rotational safety as well. Over the last two seasons, Brown has played in 24 games with 105 tackles and 3 interceptions.
