After not challenging for an open starting job throughout spring practice, sophomore cornerback Noah Boykin intends to transfer from Notre Dame, according to multiple reports. Irish Illustrated first reported Boykin’s plans.
Unlike classmates TaRiq Bracy and Houston Griffith, Boykin did not see the field in his freshman campaign. He remained behind both this spring as they competed for the starting boundary cornerback job, this despite Boykin’s 6-foot-2 frame giving him some natural gifts that may have made sense along the sideline. With senior Donte Vaughn expected to fully recover from shoulder surgery this winter, Boykin may not have been in the two-deep by the end of August.
