Former Notre Dame wide receiver Jay Brunelle spent less than a month in the transfer portal before finding his new home in the Ivy League.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Brunelle is headed back near his home of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. He has decided to transfer to Yale, announcing the decision on Twitter this Tuesday.
Brunelle was set to enter his sophomore season at Notre Dame after not getting on the field at all in 2020. His career with the Fighting Irish got off to an unfortunate start when he had surgery on his shoulder shortly after enrolling.

Brunelle was graded a three-star recruit by both 247Sports and Rivals when he came out of St. John’s in Massachusetts.
I’m honored to be continuing my academic and athletic career at Yale University. While I look ahead with great excitement, I’m also blessed to bring with me a piece of the ☘️ in my heart.#ELITE 🐶 pic.twitter.com/t7z2FylJxB
