One of the nation’s top tight ends is reportedly no longer coming to South Bend.
On Tuesday, four-star TE Nate Roberts told On3.com’s Hayes Fawcett that he has decommitted from Notre Dame and will pursue one of his other 31 offers.
Roberts also confirmed the report on Twitter:
I have made the decision to decommit from the University of Notre Dame. I want to thank Coach Freeman, Coach Parker, and Chad Bowden for the opportunity, and wish them and the Fighting Irish the best going forward.
