Notre Dame’s Isaiah Robertson Enters Transfer Portal
Isaiah Robertson’s Notre Dame football career formally ended last month, but he is looking to continue playing elsewhere.
Robertson, who was medically disqualified earlier in August, entered the transfer portal Tuesday, Rivals transfer portal tracker reported. He will be a graduate transfer. The class of 2017 four-star recruit played receiver and safety in his three seasons with the Irish, but saw most of his work on special teams.
Robertson did not play in 2019 and used the year as a redshirt. He played six games in 2018 and recorded no stats. He played 12 games as a freshman in 2017, notching four special teams tackles. The Bolingbrook, Ill., native enrolled in January 2017.
Whenever or if Robertson plays next, he will have two seasons of eligibility left. The NCAA announced Friday this season will not count toward a player’s eligibility clock. Robertson was not at Notre Dame’s one spring practice in March, an absence coach Brian Kelly attributed to “working on some things academically.”
Notre Dame put Robertson on medical scholarship Aug. 12, ending his Irish career. The team did the same with offensive lineman Cole Mabry and graduate transfer running back Trevor Speights.
Robertson originally committed to Notre Dame in April 2016 from a top six that included Illinois, Iowa, Penn State, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin, in addition to the Irish.
Note: This story was updated to change an error in Robertson’s academic status that stated he has graduated. He has not yet graduated from the Notre Dame.
