Press allowed in to watch full practice and the first practice in full pads. I’ve also posted video from und.com of August 8th practice and Kelly’s post practice presser.

But first goddamnit’s of the year:

Jordan Prestwood 2nd team Left Tackle has left the team–personal matters. Here’s a kid with all the athletic ability to be a standout tackle and he had 4 years of eligibility left having sat out 2011 having transferred from Florida State. You might remember he was an original commit to ND then flipped to FSU. Getting kind of tired of these Florida recruits.

Danny Spond -drop linebacker out with concussion -problem here is history of C’s in high school. Ben Councell now has inside track on that position.

Alex Welch–Tight End–knee injury–full extent unknown at this time.

Cameron Roberson–RB–will never play–medical.

Looks like all 3 freshman receivers–Brown, Neal and Ferguson making big strides early and all 3 could play this year.

Lo Wood moving closer to locking down one corner.

Shembo and I. Williams fierce battle for other OLB position.

Troy Niklas TE just runs over defenders–big and strong probably doesn’t even describe this kid.

Don Bosco NJ safety Elijah Shumate moved to corner back–Kelly wants to get him on the field.

Notre Dame cannot have serious injuries coming out of Fall Practice–just don’t have the depth and facing the toughest schedule in college football this year as well as 2013.

Next practices closed so for now enjoy clips from und.com:
