Active for spring ball Payne (knee) is not among those listed as out for Notre Dame's spring workouts, Mike Berardino of the South Bend Tribune reports.

Impact Payne, who missed the entirety of the 2024-25 season after suffering an offseason ACL injury, will make his return to the field during Notre Dame's spring workouts. The 5-foot-9 redshirt sophomore last saw the field during the 2023-24 season, totaling 45 carries for 168 yards and two scores on the ground, along with nine receptions for 58 yards and two more touchdowns through the air.

Likely out for season Payne underwent successful reconstructive surgery on his right ACL but is expected to miss the entirety of the 2024 season.

Impact Payne played in Notre Dame's spring game but unfortunately should miss the entire 2024 campaign. The 5-foot-9 running back tallied 45 attempts for 168 yards and two touchdowns in the 2023 season, and it appeared he would be getting a bigger role in the Fighting Irish's offense this season though he'll now have to wait a year for that opportunity.
