Notre Dame RB Kedren Yoiung out for season, TE Kevin Bauman retires

Notre Dame running back Kedren Young will miss the upcoming season and tight end Kevin Bauman has opted to retire due to their respective knee injuries.

Young sustained a torn ACL in his right knee during a recent practice, the team announced Saturday. He had 21 carries for 116 rushing yards and a touchdown as a freshman last season for the Fighting Irish.

Notre Dame is expected to lean on running backs Jeremiyah Love, Jadarian Price and Aneyas Williams in 2025.

Bauman, a sixth-year senior, announced on Instagram that he will retire after injuring his articular cartilage in his left knee.

He had an 8-yard touchdown reception as his lone catch in 14 games last season.

Injuries have plagued Bauman. He was limited to four games in 2021 due to a fractured fibula. In 2022, his season ended after just three games due to an ACL injury. He missed the 2023 season while also recovering from an ACL injury.
