Former Notre Dame linebacker Jack Lamb has a new home as his next stop has been determined.
Lamb exits Notre Dame with his degree in hand and heads west as a graduate-transfer for the Colorado Buffaloes.
The Temecula, California (Great Oak) product was one of the biggest pieces of Notre Dame’s 2017 recruiting class and found playing time in each of the last two seasons, but injuries while at Notre Dame will leave a lot to wonder what could have been.
Lamb was the second-rated inside linebacker by Rivals.com in 2018 and was a third-down specialist for the Irish in 2019 before suffering a major hip injury against Virginia Tech.
The injuries began his senior year of high school when he lost much of the season to a knee injury and Lamb was unfortunately injured again early on in his freshman year at Notre Dame.
Excited to announce that I will be continuing my football career and pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Colorado Boulder! #GoBuffs 🦬 pic.twitter.com/4GTXvpyv1h

Lamb’s Notre Dame career concludes with 20 career tackles, two of which were for a loss.
Lamb was the latest in a collection of Irish players to exit via the transfer portal this off-season.

Lamb joins a Colorado team that is coming off a 4-2 year in a shortened Pac-12 season. He’ll have at least two years of eligibility remaining with the Buffaloes.
