Notre Dame running back Jahmir Smith has decided to step away from playing football according to head coach Brian Kelly.
“He has decided he’s not going to play football anymore” Kelly said during his media availability on Friday.
Smith saw action against Duke this year as he carried the ball five times for 15 yards but hasn’t touched the ball in the three games since.
Smith’s biggest impact for the Irish came in the 2019 opener at Louisville when the back ran for a pair of touchdowns in the 35-17 victory.
