Former Notre Dame linebacker Prince Kollie entered the transfer portal just after the conclusion of spring practice in April.
After much speculation we officially know where Kollie is headed, and it involves the coach that played a huge part in getting him to come to Notre Dame originally.
Kollie is headed to Vanderbilt where former Notre Dame defensive coordinator Clark Lea is entering his third year as head coach. Lea was the lead recruiter in getting Kollie interested in Notre Dame and obviously kept in positive contact after Lea departed for Nashville.
It’s a homecoming for Kollie, who starred at David Crockett High School in Tennessee.
Kollie played in all 13 games for the Irish in 2022, racking up 19 tackles, 2.5 of those for loss and 1.5 sacks. He starred on special teams as he blocked a punt against Stanford, and he returned a blocked punt for a touchdown against Clemson.
