His positional value and the compromised timeline due to injury/rehab suggest that KVA really needs to thread the needle to make going into the '27 draft an obvious play for him. Keep in mind that he has now endured a serious injury each year in college and has never been available for a full season. Factoring in how much he and his family (his mom is one of the biggest Irish boosters you'll find on social media) have embraced ND, I tend to think odds of departure are less than 50/50. I'd actually take the opposite tack and say that if KVA goes pro in the spring, then the 2026 season must have gone really really well for ND.

Just my $0.02.
