The mystery surrounding freshman quarterback Brandon Wimbush will be coming to an end. The blue-chip recruit is going to play.
Entering the 2015 season, the intentions of Notre Dame’s coaching staff were to redshirt Wimbush, hoping to get through the season with Malik Zaire and DeShone Kizer. But with Zaire done and Kizer moving into the starting lineup, Kelly is preparing to get Wimbush involved in the game plan, sooner rather than later.
“He’s going to have to play this year. So I haven’t decided yet, but he’s going to play this year,” Kelly said Tuesday.
