Notre Dame Junior Ready To Give Up Redshirt for Emergency, Despite Marcus Freeman’s Verdict Marcus Freeman finally took the call of what almost everyone expected, as a Junior athlete is given the task

Marcus Freeman finally confirmed what Notre Dame fans suspected. An injury against Arkansas sidelined WR Jaden Greathouse in late September. Though Freeman earlier said that Greathouse is “closer to playing than he’s ever been,” nothing has changed on the availability front.

In his Thursday press conference ahead of their Syracuse game, the Irish head coach gave the good news regarding Greathouse. Freeman said that his WR is “healthy and available now.” However, that hasn’t changed the program’s plan. “If something happens where he’s needed in Saturday’s game, Greathouse is willing to play. Ideally, his redshirt will be preserved over the final 2 games,” Freeman said. The HC plans to hold him out against Syracuse and Stanford. The logic is simple.

Greathouse has played only four games
