Notre Dame’s offensive line depth is taking a bit of a hit just ahead of the annual Blue-Gold spring game in South Bend.
According to head coach Brian Kelly on Saturday, sophomore offensive lineman Luke Jones is entering his name in the transfer portal and plans to play elsewhere in 2019 and beyond:

Jones was expected to be in the mix at center following the departure of Sam Mustipher but that appears not to be the case after several weeks of spring practice.
An Arkansas native, Jones originally committed to the Razorbacks as part of the class of 2017 before flipping to the Irish down the stretch. The three-star recruit also held offers from Oregon, Missouri and Virginia among others.
