  Long snapper Michael "Milk" Vinson's decision to return for a sixth season came as an early Christmas present for special-teams coordinator Brian Mason. Prior conversations, most recently during the bye week in early October, indicated Vinson would leave after a three-year run as the starter. Instead, the Irish will milk another season out of a popular team leader and Patrick Mannelly Award semifinalist as one of the nation's top long snappers. "When it came time for the end of the year, (Vinson) decided, 'You know what, I love Notre Dame. I'm going to stay,' "Mason said. "There were a couple things he still wanted to get done. He's clearly the leader of our group. He's in the office a ton. He watches a lot of film. You just can't easily replace somebody like that." With kicker Blake Grupe and punter Jon Sot moving on after successful grad-transfer seasons, Vinson's return should ease the transition for the next set of specialists. Freshman Bryce McFerson is set to assume punting duties, Mason said, and the Irish reportedly could add South Florida kicker Spencer Shrader as a graduate transfer. - South Bend Tribune
