Sad news: Due to catastrophic situations, the top player at Notre Dame will retire.
The football team from Notre Dame is 7-2 after defeating Pittsburgh and USC twice in a row. Marcus Freeman remains optimistic despite the team’s two losses, which came against Louisville and Ohio State.
Up next, they take on Dabo Swinney and the struggling Clemson Tigers. According to Drew Mentock of Irish Sports Daily, the Fighting Irish received bad news regarding injuries: starting tight end and top pass-catcher Mitchell Evans will miss the entire season due to an ACL tear.
Mitchell Evans, a tight end for Notre Dame, will miss the rest of the season due to an ACL tear, according to Marcus Freeman. He will have surgery sometime in the coming week. Evans leads the Irish in receiving with 29 catches for 422 yards and a touchdown, so it’s a significant loss.

Evans was the only player on the Notre Dame football team with more than 20 receptions in a season, so his loss is devastating. In his best game of the season, he caught six passes for 134 yards against Duke after having five catches for 66 yards against Pitt.

Holden Staes, who has only 12 catches for 163 yards on the season despite four touchdowns and four catches for 115 yards and a score against NC State, looks to be the next man up in Evans’ absence. Additionally, rookie tight end Cooper Flanagan may see more action after catching one pass for 19 yards and a touchdown against Pitt.
The bright side is that Notre Dame football has a wealth of talented tight end options to help them overcome the loss of Mitchell Evans.
