Notre Dame cuts ties with CB signee Landen Bartleson after arrest

After a Friday arrest, Notre Dame has released cornerback signee Landen Bartleson from his Letter of Intent. Bartleson, along with two 16-year-olds, faces charges of burglary, criminal mischief and receiving stolen property, according to a WKYT, a local Kentucky television station.

“After reviewing all of the facts available to us and speaking with the Bartleson family, we informed them that Landen will no longer be welcomed as a member of our football program,” Irish head coach Brian Kelly said in a statement. “This incident is very much out of character for the man we have come to know and we wish Landen and his family well.
