Notre Dame tight finish Mitchell Evans will miss the remainder of the 2023 season after struggling a torn ACL in the second one part of the team’s 57-8 win victory towards Pittsburgh, trainer Marcus Freeman announced Monday. Evans is the team’s leading receiver this season.
Evans, a junior, had 5 receptions for 66 yards towards Pitt earlier than leaving the competition. He ends the 2023 season with 29 catches for 422 yards receiving and a landing. He had a season-high 134 yards receiving all over the Irish’s Sept. 30 win at Duke. He in the past overlooked the team’s Sept. 16 house win towards Central Michigan with a separate damage.
The absence of Evans leaves senior extensive receiver Chris Tyree as Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman’s most sensible to be had goal at 19 receptions for 417 yards and 3 touchdowns at the season. Tyree and Evans exited Week 9 as the one Irish pass-catchers with greater than 400 yards receiving. The damage may lead to Notre Dame filling the tight finish place via committee, although sophomore Holden Staes has been the most efficient in that position in the back of Evans at 12 catches for 163 yards and 4 touchdowns q4.
Notre Dame (7-2) has last video games towards Clemson, Wake Forest and Stanford earlier than finding out its bowl vacation spot in early December.
