No. 4 Notre Dame will be without linebacker Drayk Bowen for its highly anticipated matchup against No. 1 Miami, the program announced Tuesday.
Bowen, a key contributor on defense, has been ruled out for the showdown scheduled for this weekend. The news comes as the Fighting Irish prepare to face the top-ranked Hurricanes in a game with significant College Football Playoff implications.
The Associated Press reported the development on November 3, 2026. Notre Dame's coaching staff has not disclosed the specific nature of Bowen's absence, but his loss leaves a gap in the linebacker corps ahead of a critical contest.
