After three seasons with UMass-Lowell, Chase Blackmun had his most productive college season yet at Notre Dame. He set career highs in games played (40) and assists (14). Now, he’s decided he won’t be one-and-done with the Irish. He’ll be returning to them in 2022-23, announcing such in a statement:

That’s right, Blackmun’s getting his MBA. Specifically, he is aiming for a Master of Science in Business Analytics. It’s fair to say the Hudson, Wisconsin native will be set up perfectly fine for employment when the time comes.
During his first season in South Bend, Blackmun had two-assist games against RIT and Wisconsin. His two goals were scored when the Irish won contests over Penn State and Michigan State. His final assist of the season came during a sweep of Michigan in the last weekend of the regular season.
Blackmun obviously has a lot to prove still, and here’s hoping he’ll be able to do that successfully.
