Notre Dame football: Which seniors will stick around for 2017?
By Greg Hadley
The why bothers?
It may sound a little harsh, but these are the guys who, quite honestly, probably shouldn’t return. They’ve received little to no playing time through three and a half seasons, and that is unlikely to change, even with a fifth year. I don’t mean to be mean, and perhaps these players simply love the game too much to walk away before they’re finished, but at a certain point you need to start the next phase of your lives. These players probably shouldn’t put it off any longer.
8. Marquis Dickerson
Never played a single snap for Notre Dame. Not one.
7. Omar Hunter
Even with how weak and inexperienced Notre Dame was at the wide receiver position entering this year, Hunter has yet to play a game. He has just one game to his credit, in fact, last season in a rout against UMass.
6. John Montelus
The most experienced of the bunch with six career games to his name, Montelus has no career stats for the Irish. He has a bit of versatility switching from the offensive line to the defensive, but that’s not enough.
