Notre Dame WR Quincy Porter to Undergo Season-Ending Knee Surgery
Marcus Freeman said the sophomore transfer had a setback in his recovery, and doctors determined another procedure was needed after a recent MRI.
- On Monday, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman announced that wide receiver Quincy Porter will undergo season-ending surgery on his patellar tendon. The sophomore transfer from Ohio State has not played this season while recovering from a previous knee injury.
- Porter, a former five-star recruit from Bergen Catholic High School, arrived in South Bend after surgery to repair a left knee injury in January. He underwent a minor procedure last month to speed recovery before a recent flare-up necessitated this final surgery.
- While Porter remains sidelined, the Fighting Irish receiving corps is led by Micah Gilbert with 334 yards and two touchdowns on 15 receptions. Jordan Faison adds a team-high 17 catches for 239 yards as Notre Dame enters October with a perfect 4-0 record.
- Freeman described the situation as "tough news," noting the 6-foot-4, 215-pound receiver has done everything right during rehabilitation. Freeman remains optimistic, saying Porter's "mind is in the right place" for an eventual return after the procedure.
- The Irish travel to North Carolina for Saturday's road game looking to maintain momentum after a 49-10 win over Purdue improved their record to 4-0. Freeman's depth at receiver will be tested without Porter available.
