Title/Alt Text Per a source, Irish247.com has learned that Notre Dame junior running back Greg Bryant will miss the first four games of the 2015 season.

The 5-10, 205-pounder will miss part of the upcoming season because of a "violation of team rules."

Bryant, who played in 12 games last season rushing for 289 yards and three touchdown, will be sidelined for games against Texas [Sept. 5], Virginia [Sept. 12], Georgia Tech [Sept. 19] and UMass [Sept. 26]. He will return for the Oct. 3 road matchup with Clemson.

After a stellar high school career, Bryant signed with Notre Dame in the 2013 class. He was a second-team USA Today All-USA high school All-American and a U.S. Army All-American. He rushed for 1,447 yards and 17 touchdowns on 186 attempts as a senior for Delray Beach (Fla.) American Heritage high school.
