Yesterday, news surfaced that Junior Running Back Greg Bryant will be academically ineligible for the 2015 season. This leaves the Irish with 3 scholarship Running Backs and slot swingman C.J. Prosise in the backfield.
Tarean Folston leads the inexperienced group. Prior to the suspensions of Greg Bryant, Folston was going to be the starting Running Back anyway. Notre Dame coaches can depend on Folston for 200 or more carries. Without Bryant, Folston will carry more of the load, at least initially.
The Irish coaching staff will need to prepare Senior swingman C.J. Prosise, Freshman speedster Dexter Williams and Freshman bruiser Josh Adams.
