Not every former Notre Dame football player will continue their career in the NFL, but that doesn’t mean their careers are over.
Wide receiver Jayden Harrison was not selected by an NFL team after the draft, but he will get another opportunity in another professional league, the CFL. The 5-foot-10 pass catcher has signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers after sitting out the 2025 season, BGMSportsTrax.com reports.

Harrison will forever be remembered for his 98-yard kickoff return against the Georgia Bulldogs in the 2025 Sugar Bowl that helped the Irish win the College Football Playoff championship. While he was a long-time catcher with 19 catches for 211 yards and one score, it was his spark on special teams that will forever endear him to Notre Dame fans.
We wish Harrison all the best as he continues his career in the CFL.
