He left the Notre Dame football program so long ago now that you probably forgot that he hadn’t yet announced the new program he’d be attending.
At least until February 1, anyway.
Running back Jahmir Smith officially left the Notre Dame football program back in October and entered the transfer-portal this off-season.
He’s now announced his new school of choice and it’s one that Notre Dame fans hold near and dear to their hearts because of what this program accomplished over 13 years ago.
Smith will attend Appalachian State, a decision he announced on social media to start off the week.
Committed! … Tremendous thanks to my family for continuing, and never failing to give me unconditional love. I’m excited to join this great program as a graduate transfer! #GoApp pic.twitter.com/fpSRMTCe3y

Smith entered Notre Dame in 2018 as a three-star running back out of Sanford, North Carolina (Lee County). He played in 10 of his 13 career games with the Irish in 2019, scoring both of his touchdowns in the season-opening win at Louisville.
Smith finishes his career at Notre Dame with 223 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and played in 13 games.
Appalachian State is coming off a 9-3 season where they won the Myrtle Beach Bowl. The Mountaineers have gone 70-20 since making the leap from FCS to the Sun Belt conference in 2014.
