Notre Dame wide receiver Jordan Faison has made a definitive decision about his athletic future: he’s stepping away from lacrosse to concentrate entirely on football heading into the 2026 season. For a player whose journey has been anything but traditional, this move carries meaningful implications for both his Notre Dame career and his NFL aspirations.
Faison’s impact on the football field has steadily grown since his arrival in South Bend. The junior from Fort Lauderdale entered Notre Dame as a multi-sport standout – a two-sport athlete who excelled in both lacrosse and football – and quickly became one of the Irish’s most exciting playmakers.
