Once considered a possible 2021 starter, fifth-year offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons announced an intention to transfer from Notre Dame on Thursday. The career reserve started spring practices working with the first-team but was a backup guard and center by the end of the 15 practices.
“Committing to Notre Dame on April 4th, 2015 was the easiest decision that I’ve made in my life,” Gibbons wrote on Twitter. “Choosing to leave has proven to be the most difficult decision I’ve made to date.”
Gibbons started at right guard in the 2020 home finale, against Syracuse, with Tommy Kraemer‘s reps limited by an emergency appendectomy.
