Due to his stellar play this season, there has been a lot of talk about Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer leaving early for the upcoming NFL Draft.

However, during Wednesday’s media session, Kizer made it clear that his focus is solely on Notre Dame football and nothing else.

“We have so much going on with our game plan and so much that we're trying to get accomplished, trying to get some wins put together, that my focus has been nothing but on our offense,” said Kizer. “No thoughts have even come across with the national attention that you say I have. I've been so focused up on what we can do to get wins, that none of that has come across my mind.

“If you know me, you know that's the last thing I want to talk about,” Kizer added, regarding talk of leaving early for the Draft. “And the circle that I keep close to me knows that those conversations aren't going to happen until they need to. Right now we're a 2-3 football team who's trying to turn some things around, and that's all the focus that's on from me and my friends and family.”



On the year, Kizer has completed 95-of-151 passes (62.9-percent) for 1,567 yards, 14 touchdowns and 4 interceptions through five games.
