  Hunter Spears came to Notre Dame with an unfortunate injury history. Spears, who was recruited as a defensive lineman out of Sachse (Texas) High in the 2019 class, tore the ACL in his left knee twice in 19 months with the latter injury coming near the end of his senior season. Spears was never able to escape that injury history at Notre Dame. On Thursday afternoon, Spears announced on social media he has taken a medical retirement from football. The move will allow him to remain on scholarship at Notre Dame without participating in practices and games.

"I have been through a lot in these last 4 years from countless knee surgeries to being a part of a team in the College Football Playoff," Spears wrote in his social media statement. "The game I love so much, however, has taken an immense toll on my body both physically and mentally. After consulting with the program's medical team and coaching staff, I have decided that it is in my best interest to medically retire from football." Spears will no longer count against Notre Dame's scholarship limit, which was pushed to 87 to allow nose guard Kurt Hinish and kicker Jonathan Doerer to take advantage of an extra year of eligibility with the NCAA's COVID-19 exemption. The Irish now have 84 players on scholarship without Spears. - South Bend Tribune
