Notre Dame tight end announces transfer destination

All the best in this next phase!

After battling through injuries in his two years at Notre Dame, tight end [autotag]Cane Berrong[/autotag] entered the transfer portal this off-season.  After getting offers from all over the country, Berrong has announced that he will continue his college football career at Coastal Carolina University.

Coastal Carolina is coming off a season where they started 9-1 before dropping three-straight to end it, including a 53-29 loss in the Birmingham Bowl against East Carolina.  The Chanticleers are a combined 31-7 over the last three seasons.

Berrrong played in three games in 2021 and one game in 2022 for Notre Dame. He’ll have three years of eligibility remaining as the Hartwell, Georgia native will be a bit closer to home.

PFF Ranks Top 25 Players who Entered 22-23 College Football Transfer Portal

Just how big of a get was Sam Hartman for Notre Dame? Uhh, big.

The preliminary window for players in the college football transfer portal to sign with a new school is drawing to a close so we thought it’d be a good time to look back and see where the best players to enter it wound up.  Alright, we did think that but with Notre Dame adding quarterback [autotag]Sam Hartman[/autotag] from Wake Forest and so many national outlets loving the pickup for the Irish, we thought we’d compare him to some of the other top players in the portal.
