  Less than a month after entering the transfer portal, Micah Jones has solidified where his next step - and perhaps too his first collegiate catch - will unfold. The Notre Dame junior announced on Twitter Wednesday that he has committed to FCS power Illinois State. The 6-foot-5, 219-pound wide receiver is on track to get his ND degree in May, and will join the Redbirds this summer. ISU (0-1) just opened its 2020-21 season this past Saturday, delayed to the spring semester because of COVID-19 concerns, and lost to South Dakota, 27-20. The Redbirds went 10-5 in 2019, reaching the FCS Playoff quarterfinals before losing to eventual champ and top-ranked North Dakota State, 9-3. Jones becomes the seventh player to commit to or enroll at a new school since the end of the 2020 Irish season on Jan. 1. - South Bend Tribune
