Jafar Armstrong appears to have played his last down at Notre Dame as the former running back turned wide receiver has entered the transfer portal.

Armstrong was part of the 2017 recruiting class at Notre Dame and found the end zone seven times in 2018, including twice in the season-opening win over Michigan.

Armstrong suffered a groin injury in the 2019 opener at Louisville and was never quite the same as a member of the Fighting Irish as he averaged just over two yards a carry the last two seasons.

Armstrong scored his final of nine career touchdowns at Notre Dame in the 52-0 Irish win over South Florida this September.

With Kyren Williams, Chris Tyree, and C’Bo Flemister already forcing him to move to receiver, it’s hardly a surprising move to see the Missouri product looking to continue his college football career elsewhere.

Armstrong finishes his Notre Dame career with 513 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. He also pulled in 30 receptions for 294 more yards.

All the best to Armstrong on his next chapter.
