According to a confirmed report on Blue & Gold Illustrated, Notre Dame Fighting Irish offensive lineman John Dirksen has made the decision to end his playing career moving forward. He won’t seek a transfer elsewhere.
The new spring roster for Notre Dame football on und.com did not have Dirksen listed as a member of the team.
Unlike most college football players, Dirksen is a married family man and is probably ready to move on with his life and his professionally career with a Notre Dame degree in hand.
Dirksen was part of the 2018 recruiting class — and ironically enough — was a Harry Hiestand recruit during the legendary OL coach’s first tenure with the Irish.
