SOUTH BEND, Ind. Bobby Orr Jersey . -- Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer declared for the NFL draft Monday, giving up his senior season and opening up the Fighting Irishs starting job next year for Brandon Wimbush.Kizer put together a solid junior season for a disappointing Fighting Irish team that went 4-8 in 2016. He threw for 2,925 yards and 26 touchdowns, and rushed for 472 yards and eight touchdowns. He ranks among the most prolific players in Notre Dame history despite playing extensively in only 24 games over the past two seasons.The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Kizer could end up being the first quarterback selected in the draft in April.Earlier this month, Malik Zaire, who served as backup to Kizer this season after competing for the starting job in the offseason, announced he was transferring from Notre Dame as a graduate student.That leaves Wimbush as the most experienced quarterback on the roster. He was a highly recruited player out of New Jersey in 2015, and played sparingly this season for the Irish, completing 3 of 5 passes for 17 yards. Kizer thanked Notre Dame in a short video announcing his decision on Bleacher Report .Kizer became the starter at Notre Dame early in the 2015 season after Zaire was injured against Virginia. In his first college action, Kizer led the Irish from behind for a victory against the Cavaliers with a late touchdown pass.Zaire returned this season and he and Kizer had a tight competition in the spring and preseason. Coach Brian Kelly never did name a starter and both Kizer and Zaire were used in the teams opening night loss against Texas. Kizer was far more effective, but still Kelly would not commit.Had some ups and downs, throwing eight interceptions, and was even benched for Zaire for some series during a 17-10 loss to Stanford in October.DeShone is an extremely gifted quarterback that was faced with a difficult decision, Kelly said. He could return as a senior captain at Notre Dame -- a place that he loves, and with a program that respects him immensely. Or, he could begin the next chapter in his life and accept the opportunity that likely awaits in the NFL.While he chose the latter, the type of leadership DeShone displayed this past season will benefit our program moving forward. Hell certainly be missed on and off the field, but were very happy for him and his family.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .

Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day.Alan Curtis thinks there is still work to be done in Swanseas bid to stay up despite opening up a nine-point gap to the relegation zone following victory against Norwich. Swanseas first-team coach took charge against Norwich in the continued absence of Francesco Guidolin and he saw his side secure back-to-back league wins after victory at Arsenal in midweek.Gylfi Sigurdsson was the match-winner for the home side but despite the nine-point gap to Norwich in 18th, Curtis says Swansea, who face Bournemouth and Aston Villa in the coming weeks, still need more to secure their top-flight status. It was crucial. The Arsenal game was a huge bonus but we underlined that result in midweek with another massive three points, Curtis told Sky Sports. Curtis gestures during his sides 1-0 win We stressed that theres more to do straight after the game. Its great that we have that little bit of a buffer but weve got another two massive games coming up.We go down to Bournemouth and then play Aston Villa and if we get two positive results then we are more or less there.But theres still a huge amount of work to do.Norwich pushed right until the final whistle and could have secured a point as chances fell to Nathan Redmond and Patrick Bamford in the closing stages. Gylfi Sigurdsson (c) and Neil Taylor (l) celebrate Swanseas 1-0 win However, Curtis was full of praise for his sides character as they held on for a crucial three points.He said: We almost threw it away at the end. Norwich threw men forward and they are probably a bit unlucky to get something at the end. Whether it was deserved or not they created a few chances.Thankfully we held in there and sometimmes you have to dig deep and show character. Chicago Blackhawks Gear. To be fair we showed the ability and the character within the group.Swansea boss Guidolin has now missed his sides last two matches as he bids to recover from a chest infection. Phil Thompson has his say on Swanseas 1-0 win Curtis admitted he expected the Italian to be back for the clash with Norwich but thinks he will be feeling much better after Swanseas performance.[Guidolin] got in touch through one of the coaches to congratulate everybody on a big three points, Curtis added.I imagine he will feel a lot healthier after that performance.When asked if Guidolin will be back in the dugout for his sides match against Bournemouth, Curtis said: I hope so. I thought hed be back for todays game but I think hes due to leave the hospital on Monday.It may be a couple of days before we see him in training but hopefully hell be ok for next weekend.
