Notre Dame continues to bolster its roster with impressive transfers this offseason, securing a commitment from Justin Casterline a standout defensive tackle from Columbia. Autry, standing at 6-5 and 280 pounds, joins Notre Dame as a preferred walk-on with two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Autry, originally recruited from Notre Dame High School in New Jersey, faced setbacks early in his collegiate career due to the cancellation of the 2020 season and subsequent injury. However, he rebounded strongly, earning a rotational role in 2022 and securing a starting position in 2023.

His contributions included 18 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, and a fumble recovery, along with impressive metrics in quarterback pressures and run stops according to Pro Football Focus.
