Notre Dame TE Michael Mayer declares for 2023 NFL Draft

Michael Mayer needed three seasons to set every major Notre Dame tight end record. It took him even less time to become a premier pro prospect.

Mayer will now chase that professional path.

The Notre Dame junior tight end has declared for the NFL Draft, he announced. He will not play versus South Carolina in the Gator Bowl Dec. 30. ESPN was first to report the news.

“It has been an honor to wear the Gold helmet and share a locker room with my brothers the last three years,” Mayer said in his statement. “I want to say thank you to all of my coaches, staff and of course my teammates for making my Notre Dame experience unforgettable.”

Mayer ends his 2022 season with 67 catches for 809 yards and 9 touchdowns. He ranks either first or second among FBS tight ends in all three categories. He is a finalist for the Mackey Award, which will be presented to the nation’s best tight end Dec. 8.

In 36 career games, Mayer became the most statistically impressive tight end in Notre Dame history, finishing with 180 catches for 2,099 yards and 18 touchdowns. All three are program records for a tight end. His 180 receptions are third in team history regardless of position. His 9 touchdowns are a single-season program record for a tight end. He broke his own mark of 7, set last year. His 71 catches and 840 yards in 2021 are also the most by an Irish tight end in one season.
