Notre Dame defensive back finds new home

All the best to him going forward!

Passionate Notre Dame fans are familiar with [autotag]Litchfield Ajavon[/autotag] not so much because of his memorable moments on the football field but because he was the personality behind much of Notre Dame football’s social media presence in recent years.

Ajavon played in parts of five games in 2021 and had been with Notre Dame since signing in the 2019 recruiting class.  Litchfield graduated from Notre Dame this past weekend after announcing he was entering the transfer portal on December 9 of last year.  Now we know that Ajavon’s next stop on his educational and football journey will be at Rice after he shared that information on Wednesday.

All the best to Litchfield in his next step!

Notre Dame transfer portal tracker (2022)

An ongoing list of those departing and those entering…

The transfer portal is sweeping college football and changing the landscape of the entire sport like few things have before.  Although Notre Dame hasn’t been hit with a major loss by any means this season, there is still plenty of an impact that can be felt as nine different players have entered the portal since the start of the football season.

We assume it’s only a matter of time before the Irish land a few commitments in it but as of now that is not yet the case.

Here are those nine and the latest on their future destinations:

Notre Dame defensive back enters transfer portal

A former four star recruit from Notre Dame’s 2019 recruiting class will be taking his football talents elsewhere.

Notre Dame defensive back Litchfield Ajavon is entering the transfer portal.  Ajavon was a member of Notre Dame’s 2019 recruiting class and rated as a top-250 overall player in 247Sports composite ratings but that rating never translated to much playing time for the Fighting Irish.

Litchfield redshirted his freshman year in 2019, saw limited playing time in 2020, and appeared in parts of five games in 2021, including in the nail-biting win at Virginia Tech.

Ajavon stated in the announcement he posted on Twitter Wednesday that he’ll be finishing his undergraduate work at the end of the academic year and looks to continue his football career elsewhere after that.

Ajavon is perhaps best known by Notre Dame fans for the work he put in for the social media team as he provided regular interviews in the locker following practices and games.

All the best going forward to one of the more entertaining personalities we’ve seen under the golden dome in recent years.
