The most intriguing story line of spring practice for the University of Notre Dame is the play of soon to be junior wide receiver Kevin Austin. In case you haven’t been keeping up to speed on him or the team recently, a recap: Austin was the 82nd ranked player overall in the 2018 recruiting class out of Florida, he caught five passes as a freshman that season, missed the final few games and all of 2019 due to a disciplinary issue, and is finally eligible again for the football team heading into 2020.
The talk around him over the last several months has been borderline mythical.
