Notre Dame Football: Irish receiver enters transfer-portal

A former four-star recruit is looking to play elsewhere after injuries derailed his career at Notre Dame.

Isaiah Robertson’s career at Notre Dame came to an end officially on August 12th when the football program announced he had been medically disqualified from participation.

Robertson is now entering the transfer-portal in hopes of being cleared to continue his football career elsewhere next year, according to a report from 247Sports.

Robertson is set to graduate from Notre Dame this winter.  He did not appear in a game in 2019 but has suited up 18 times for the Fighting Irish previously.

Robertson came to Notre Dame as a four-star recruit in the 2017 class after playing his high school ball at Neuqua Valley in Naperville, Illinois.

Robertson’s Notre Dame career comes to an end with him recording eight tackles on defense and on special teams as a member of the Fighting Irish.

3 Notre Dame Players go on Medical Scholarship

On the first day of fall practice Notre Dame has seen three players play their final downs of collegiate football due to injury.

On the first day of fall practice Notre Dame has seen three players play their final downs of collegiate football due to injury.

Wide receiver Isaiah Robertson, offensive lineman Cole Mabry and running back Trevor Speights have all been categorized as medical non-counters meaning their scholarships will remain but their football careers will be over.

Robertson played in 18 games between 2017 and 2018 for Notre Dame, the majority of ’17 being on special teams before spending ’18 at various places defensively and at wide receiver.  He missed all of 2019 with a leg injury.

Mabry did not play in any game action as a freshman in ’18 before getting some reps in mop-up duty last year.  A shoulder/neck injury has unfortunately ended his football career.

And Trevor Speights drew attention this off-season as a graduate transfer from Stanford but his Notre Dame career is unfortunately over before it really even began.  Speights was supposed to add another body to the running backs room but injuries have apparently caught up to him again.  After missing two full seasons at Stanford, the most recent due to a knee injury, Speights will not play for the Fighting Irish.
