Brian Kelly confirmed what everyone feared over the weekend after seeing Avery Davis fall onto the turf from a non-contact injury against Navy – the 5th year senior captain is out for the year. With Davis on the shelf, Notre Dame is down to just five scholarship wide receivers, which means Del Alexnader, Tommy Rees, and Kelly are going to have to get creative over the next few weeks. Freshman Lorenzo Styles and sophomore Chris Tyree could be the answer the staff is looking for.
While letting everyone know that Davis was lost for the season, Kelly said that Lorenzo Styles moves into the starting lineup at the slot position.
