Notre Dame Football Head Coach Brian Kelly met with the media to discuss the game against Georgia. Kelly touched on several topics including Alohi Gilman, Durham Smythe, Georgia frosh Jacob Fromm, Georgia’s Running Backs and Notre Dame’s independent status.
Here are the news and notes from today’s press conference:
Alohi Gilman’s Appeal Denied
Notre Dame desperately needs help at the Safety position. Navy transfer Alohi Gilman will not become part of the solution in 2017. Kelly announced Tuesday that the NCAA denied Gilman’s appeal. Gilman must redshirt this season. When Gilman steps on the field next year, three years of eligibility remain for the Irish Safety.
