Tim Prister of Irish Illustrated is reporting today that sophomore wide receiver Kevin Austin will miss the 2019 season entirely. He is expected to remain enrolled at Notre Dame.
This renders an already depleted receiving corps further depleted as Austin was expected to be a major contributor this season after coming back from what was thought to be a four game suspension. The Irish lost receiver Michael Young for an extended period of time last week to a broken collarbone, a week after losing starting tight end Cole Kmet to the same injury.
