Brian Kelly Notebook: 4/7

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly spoke following Saturday’s scrimmage. 

On defensive end Jay Hayes:
“Jay understands the standards we have here. We just felt a change would be better for him. We granted him a release to anywhere he wants to play.”

On Hayes understanding the standards:
“You would have to ask him. We gave him the opportunity to come back if he could meet the standards we set here. I don’t know what his thoughts were.
