Notre Dame receiver earns degree

A pretty significant piece of paper…

Wide receiver Kevin Austin entered Notre Dame in the fall of 2018 with a whole lot of potential but had various issues that kept his playing time limited over his first three collegiate seasons.  2021 saw it all come together for Austin as he hauled in 48 receptions for 888 yards and seven touchdowns.

Austin used that senior season to his advantage as he declared for the 2022 NFL draft shortly after the Fiesta Bowl concluded.  Austin, who was just invited to the NFL combine, will now have a fancy piece of paper to carry with him wherever he goes because he just earned his degree from Notre Dame.

Austin tweeted out a short clip of getting his degree on Thursday afternoon.

Austin attended Notre Dame after being a four-star recruit out of North Broward Prep in Fort Lauderdale.
