Carlisle will have to sit out next season, but will have three years of eligibility left in a GOLD HELMET starting with the 2013 season.
Amir is a running back with slot receiver skills as well. He ran for 90 yards in 10 carries, along with 2 catches for 31 yards and a TD in USC's game against Colorado. Carlisle''s been clocked in 4.4 seconds in the 40 yard dash -- so he'll bring some "quick" to the Irish!
Amir -- welcome to the Notre Dame Family!
Here's a couple of links, the first to the South Bend Tribune story announcing the transfer and second a link to an interview of Amir before the 2011 season at USC. You'll be very impressed with this young man -- who graduate from HS with a 4.07 GPA!
