Notre Dame loses interior DL depth with Ja’Mion Franklin transfer

After setting himself up to be a rotation player as a freshman, quick injury prevented Ja’Mion Franklin from ever following up on that potential at Notre Dame, as the junior defensive tackle has entered the transfer portal, per reports.

Five snaps into his first Irish action, Franklin tore his quad in 2018, a severe enough injury it kept him out of 2019 spring practice, but not out of 2019 entirely. He played in nine games as a sophomore, making four tackles. He played in just one game in 2020, brief action in the blowout of South Florida, just before Notre Dame’s season was stalled by a coronavirus outbreak.
