While many reports and insiders have broken what players intended to do, Notre Dame defensive end Javontae Jean-Bapsite made light of the situation.
One of the lone seniors without remaining eligibility to let his intentions be know, Jean-Baptiste announced on social media that his “source confirms he’s playing,” in the Sun Bowl against Oregon State.
Notre Dame football’s social media had a hand in the news, as they announced the Irish’s captains for the bowl game and JBB was one of them. He quoted the original post with his own, making fun of the multiple reporters trying to get the first scoop out there.
My source confirms he’s playing 😊 https://t.co/jAzIKxEiN7

It was an extremely fun way of letting Irish nation know that Jean-Baptiste will wear the Blue and Gold one final time.
