Former Notre Dame running back headed to Big Ten

Armstrong was one of the lead-backs at Notre Dame before injuries ran their course and kept his playing time down.

Jafar Armstrong started the eventual 12-0 regular season for Notre Dame with a bang, rushing for a pair of scores in the Fighting Irish victory over Michigan.

Now Armstrong will have a chance to do damage against the rest of the Big Ten as he’s found a new home in Champaign, Illinois.

Armstrong announced earlier this month that he’d be entering the transfer portal, a move that made plenty of sense considering how crowded Notre Dame’s backfield has become.
