BREAKING: Ashton White Leaves Football Program
Irish Sports Daily has learned from multiple sources that junior defensive back Ashton White is longer with the football program.
Sources close to the situation believe White will stay to get his degree from Notre Dame and then use a graduate transfer to play his remaining two seasons of eligibility.
White is enrolled in the College of Arts and Letters and is a Political Science major.
The 5-foot-10, 197-pounder redshirted in his freshman season at Notre Dame with classmates Josh Barajas, Trevor Ruhland, Asmar Bilal, Elijah Taylor, Tristen Hoge, Brandon Tiassum, Shaun Crawford, Micah Dew-Treadway, and Miles Boykin.
White will join Bajaras (Illinois State), Hoge (BYU), Jalen Guyton (North Texas), Bo Wallace (Arizona State), and Mykelti Williams (Syracuse) as members of the 2015 recruiting class who have left the program.
In 2016, White appeared in six games for the Irish in primarily a special teams role. The Washington D.C. native recorded two tackles on the year.
The former Bishop McNamara (Md.) star finished his senior season with 58 tackles, two interceptions, and helped Mustangs to their first playoff berth in five seasons.
White committed to Notre Dame over Boston College, Maryland, Ohio State, and Virginia in July of 2014.
Fall Camp Special!
