Notre Dame sophomore cornerback Gary Gray hopes to return to Notre Dame in the summer, according to a family member close member to Gray.
According to the family member, Gray is not enrolled this semester because of academic issues. Those issues forced Gray to miss the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, but the family member said Gray is hopeful that those issues won't stop him from re-enrolling during the summer session to get back in good academic standing.
Notre Dame spokesman Brian Hardin said he couldn't speak specifically about Gray's situation because of privacy laws, which limit the release of private information, but did say that Gray has not been suspended, and should he re-enroll in school, he will be allowed back on the football team.
Gray was a backup to Raeshon McNeil this season. He saw action in nine games and had 15 tackles, two interceptions, two pass breakups, four passes defended and a recovered fumble.
According to the family member, Gray is spending the spring semester back in his hometown of Columbia, S.C., working out with a personal trainer and trying to get prepared to both attend Notre Dame and play for the Irish again.
