Notre Dame will have only one receiver remaining from the combined recruiting classes of 2019 and 2020 once sophomore Jay Brunelle enters the transfer portal, as multiple Wednesday reports have indicated is expected.
Irish Sports Daily first reported Brunelle’s intentions.
The sophomore did not appear in a game in 2020, not altogether a shock for any freshman, let alone a consensus three-star recruit joining Notre Dame in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic which limited practice continuity and development opportunities. Furthermore, Brunelle suffered a shoulder injury late in his senior season of high school (2019) that would have held him out of 2020’s spring practices upon his early enrollment, if there had been 2020 spring practices.
