Notre Dame junior running back Cierre Wood is expected to enter the 2013 NFL draft.
Wood has announced on social media that Saturday was his final home game at Notre Dame Stadium. Woods will graduate prior to April’s draft.
Head coach Brian Kelly has been able to keep many of his draft eligible players by convincing them to stay and finish all four years. But apparently, he was not able to convince Wood to stay.
He is going to be a name many NFL teams are going to keep an eye on. However, he is going to have a tough time finding a spot behind the top running back prospects.

As Jason Whitlock so humorously pointed out, “Indiana University is #1 in basketball, Notre Dame is #1 in football, and the Pacers stink. It’s the 1970s all over again.”
