Notre Dame offensive lineman Pat Coogan, who started 26 games over the last two seasons and was known for getting the team hyped before games, has decided to transfer.
Coogan shared his decision on social media Thursday and will have one year of eligibility left as a graduate transfer.
Other Players Leaving After CFP Loss
Coogan is not the only player leaving Notre Dame after the team’s 34-23 loss to Ohio State in the College Football Playoff national championship game on Monday night. He joins guards Rocco Spindler and Sam Pendleton, as well as receivers Deion Colzie and Jayden Thomas, in entering the transfer portal, according to reports.
Rocco Spindler and Sam Pendleton’s Status
Spindler, a senior, started 13 games at right guard for Notre Dame this season after initially losing his starting job to Pendleton during fall camp. Spindler has started 23 games over four seasons and has one year of eligibility remaining.
Pendleton started seven games this season and still has three years of eligibility left.
