Not long after Notre Dame officially lost a transfer, the Fighting Irish officially landed one.
The Irish announced Monday evening that Cameron Smith will attend graduate school at the university and will play football for Brian Kelly’s squad. As the wide receiver is coming in as a graduate transfer, he’ll have immediate eligibility.
The 2017 season will be his final year of eligibility.
Earlier this offseason, Smith opted to transfer from Arizona State. During his time with the Sun Devils, the receiver started 18 of the 30 games in which he played. He missed the entire 2015 season because of an injury.
During his three healthy years, Smith caught a combined 60 passes for 908 yards and six touchdowns. One of those touchdown receptions came in a November of 2014 ASU win over... Notre Dame. That season was Smith’s best as he finished second on the team in receiving yards (596) and receiving touchdowns (six), while his 41 receptions were third.
