As Skowronek mentioned, he will be joining Notre Dame as a graduate transfer. He won’t have to sit out a season before playing.
As a sophomore in 2017, he finished with 644 yards and five touchdown receptions (both team highs) while hauling in 45 passes. Last season, he totaled 45 catches for 562 yards and three scores.
This season, he played in three games before getting hurt, catching 12 passes for 141 yards.
