Notre Dame will be without key linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa for the remainder of the season after he suffered a left knee injury in Saturday's 70-7 win against Syracuse.
Viliamu-Asa was hurt late in the first half against the Orange and didn't return in the second half.
The sophomore from Inland Empire, California, is second on the team with 7.5 tackles for loss to go with 48 total tackles, 3 sacks, 5 quarterback hurries and an interception in 11 games. The No. 5 outside linebacker prospect in the 2024 SC Next rankings, Viliamu-Asa started one game as a freshman in 2024 and two more this season.
He had a career-high nine tackles and two tackles for loss in a 25-10 win at Boston College on Nov. 1.
The Irish also announced that reserve cornerback Chance Tucker will miss the rest of the season with a left tibia injury. He had played in four games this season.
Notre Dame (9-2) closes the regular season at Stanford on Saturday night (10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
