The injury report has come back from Notre Dame’s 42-26 win over Florida State on Saturday night and for veteran defender Paul Moala, who tore his Achilles tendon and is out for the rest of 2020.
Brian Kelly made that announcement during his press conference on Monday.
Moala started his Notre Dame career as a safety but had been backing up Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah at the Rover linebacker position this season.
Kelly announced that Isaiah Pryor will move up and take Moala’s spot on the depth chart as the second Rover.
Moala had made seven tackles so far this season. If you’re not as familiar with his work you may remember him as the guy who made the video game type play against Navy last year when scoring a defensive touchdown.
