Notre Dame gets big news as defender will return for 2021 season

The Notre Dame defense gets some very good news as defensive lineman Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa announces his return for 2021.

With the 2020 season came the NCAA proclamation that this was a free year for all fall athletes, plenty of seniors and early-entry juniors had decisions to make. Well, Notre Dame got some really good news last night as Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa has announced he will return to South Bend for the 2021 season.

The Hawaiian native register career highs in multiple categories this past season, including sacks, forced fumbles and fumble recoveries. Tagovailoa-Amosa could have moved on to the NFL, but his returns gives the Irish much needed experience along the defensive line.

You have to wonder how much new defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman’s hiring impacted Tagovailoa-Amosa’s decision. Either way we are excited for his last go around wearing the Blue and Gold.
