'18 FL CB Joe Wilkins Jr. (Notre Dame Signee)

[DONTH8]

Looks like a broken foot/Lisfranc injury. 5 months recovery for that usually.

“Absent from practice No. 8 of spring drills inside the Irish Athletics Complex was wide receiver Joe Wilkins Jr., who suffered a broken foot – we’re being told a Lisfranc injury – a week ago”

Notre Dame Practice Report: Offense (April 2)

For the most part, Notre Dame’s quarterbacks threw the football accurately during the first five periods of Saturday’s practice. Kickers Josh Bryan and Blake Grupe were more accurate on some of their longer kicks with a limit in the 50-yard range.

Not cool. I was looking forward to see him get more action. Hope he fully recovers from this. We desperately need 2-3 solid WR transfers.

luckily it’s at a position ND can afford to lost a player.

In italics, we fully understand. Check the portal! Damn!

Won’t be the last

No surprise. It just hasn't ever clicked for him at ND and the injury going into this season was really bad luck for him.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Is he even healthy?

[PigtownIrish]

This is one of best versions of this type of statement I have seen. Good luck Joe!

 

[ColinKSU]

He got his degree. Good luck to him.

 

[luckofirish8]

It appears he was on the "official" two deep release for Navy. the era of the transfer portal is a strange time.

 

[stlnd01]

I totally understand why it happens and I don't blame the players involved so much as the system, but guys leaving mid-season always kind of rubs me wrong. Wilkins is an injury or two away from starting for us.

(That said in this case I'd kind of forgotten he was healthy and on the team.)

 

[PANDFAN]

Listen, if he hasn't gotten any playing time up to this point on this team of wr's and has been deemed back to playing condition..... then he's doing everyone a favor (him and not having to decide on 5th year) and will transfer is a win win

Yup. More reps for the young guys.

 

[tko]

Could he have waited until after the USC game? I always liked Joe and thought he was going to be a contributor, but those unfortunate injuries cost him here.

 

[BeauBenken]

Wishing Joe the best. Unfortunate injuries kept him from being an electric play maker that I thought he could be.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Very Classy Farewell.
Can't see how anyone can gripe about anything about this.

[Some Irish Bloke]

Good for him, great school. Hope he kills it while getting his graduate degree at a quality institution.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Good luck to him. Did everything the right way. Hopefully he can stay healthy in Oxford.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Good luck, and get Chuck Martin a couple more Ws next year!

 

[Luckylucci]

Gosh, I fricking love Chuck Martin. Let's send all our transfers to play for that guy. Good luck Joe!

 

[StPaul_Irish]

Great move, heading to a great program/coach. Will miss you Joe

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Grateful to Joe for spending time in South Bend, hope he tears it up at Ohio

 

[IrishLion]

Unless they get hit by the transfer portal, I think Miami has a pretty good QB situation, as well. A very good veteran, and a freshman that played pretty well towards the end of the season, too.

 

[NDohio]

Grateful to Joe for spending time in South Bend, hope he tears it up at Ohio

Woah, woah, woah. You need to change this phrasing. Ohio (U) is Miami's rival.

Good for Joe. Hope he does really well at my old stomping grounds.

Robert Blanton is also a CB coach there

Blanton is one of the most underrated ND players in recent memory. Also had that crazy story of him stopping a car jacking.
