Much like former Notre Dame football center Zeke Correll, fourth-year linemen Pat Coogan and Rocco Spindler are transferring ahead of a youth movement.

South Bend, Ind. – Notre Dame offensive lineman Pat Coogan, who started 26 games over the last two seasons and often served as the team's pregame hype man, is transferring. Coogan announced his intentions on social media Thursday and will have one year of eligibility remaining as a graduate transfer.

However, the Irish lost two significant starters to the transfer portal on Thursday. Offensive lineman Rocco Spindler is testing the market. And Per On3's Pete Nakos, interior offensive lineman Pat Coogan is set to enter the transfer portal.

Tennessee picked up a potential starter in the transfer portal from Notre Dame on Friday, according to a new report.

The Notre Dame football program has seen three players leave via the transfer portal on Wednesday, days after the CFP loss.

On Thursday, offensive lineman Ty Chan entered the transfer portal after two years with the program, per Pete Nakos at On3 . While he didn't play a large role in the Fighting Irish's lineup, he marks the fourth offensive lineman the team has seen enter the 2025 transfer portal cycle.

Despite making the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoffs, Tennessee has a lot of remodeling to do over the offseason. Josh Heupel has taken an aggressive approach in the college football transfer portal and landed another commitment from former Notre Dame offensive tackle Sam Pendleton.

As expected when he entered the transfer portal with a non-contact tag, former Notre Dame offensive lineman Sam Pendleton has committed to Tennessee. His decision to come to Knoxville comes under a week after playing in the National Championship with the Fighting Irish.
