  Wow...crazy that Danny Mac got a fifth year. I figured there would be no way Kelly had him come back. Hopefully this means he'll see some major playing time this year.

  There really isn't a player I dislike as much as goodman. He blows. But klm and Braxton cave is nice to have back along with slaughter

  I thought ND doesn't allow 5th year players?
• karen lotz

  

  Neal has already enrolled at Phoenix Central HS to finish out the year.

  they probably did a little homework and found a place he could transfer to before today. Still no reason besides personal, but Kelly/Notre Dame knew this was coming prior to today and the academic stuff has already been checked out.

  Athletes who sat out a year from competing have to graduate and be accepted into a graduate program before being invited back for their 5th year athletically.

  They don't allow redshirts but you can apply for a 5th year I believe If you finish your degree in 4 years. And enrolled in grad school

  Okay that's right. I knew I heard it somewhere, just couldn't remember. Thanks.
• Midstate01

  

  Just was reading he may have been changing schools to somewhere where he'd be higher rated in his class?? This an academic move to get him into nd maybe?
• sjmvsfscs08

  No. He already passed admissions or he wouldn't have been able to commit.
• karen lotz

  

  His LOI wouldn't have been accepted if he couldn't pass admissions.
  
  I just saw something on twitter from Eric Hansen saying Notre Dame is all good with the transfer, so it should be a non issue going forward.
• karen lotz

  

  Jacob Matuska is commit #2 out of Bishop Hartley in Columbus. #6 TE but will start out at DE. He's been a fan of Notre Dame for a long time, and any time a coach from another program was visiting his school to talk to him, he'd wear a Notre Dame tie.
• OneBuckeye

  

  Why would he start at DE?
• karen lotz

  

  That's where the staff likes him and has recruited him? He plays DE also, its not like he is moving to safety.
