Notre Dame defensive back enters transfer portal

Another Notre Dame player exits via transfer portal

According to Pete Sampson of The Athletic, Notre Dame defensive back K. J. Wallace is entering the transfer portal.

Wallace arrived on campus in 2019 as a three-star prospect from Atlanta but hasn’t seen significant playing time with the Fighting Irish, tallying five tackles in three seasons.

Wallace had 14 scholarship offers out of high school according to 247Sports and chose Notre Dame originally over the likes of Auburn, Boston College, Duke, Georgia Tech, Penn State, and others.

Diehard Notre Dame fans may also know Wallace from the “Inside the Garage” podcast that he hosted alongside Kyle Hamilton, Cam Hart, and Conor Ratigan this past season.

All the best to Wallace in his next endeavours.

Kyle Hamilton, three other Notre Dame players launch podcast

A few Irish players are trying their hands at a new venture.

This has been a busy week for Kyle Hamilton. First, he was named to the Jim Thorpe Award watch list for the nation’s best defensive back. Then, he and Notre Dame defensive lineman Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa made the Bronco Nagurski Award watch list, which is given to the best overall defensive player. Now, he and three other Irish teammates are getting into the podcast game.

Hamilton has launched a podcast called “Inside the Garage” along with receiver Conor Ratigan, cornerback Cam Hart and safety KJ Wallace. The podcast, which is available wherever you can find podcasts and on YouTube, is hosted on The Volume, a podcast network founded by Colin Cowherd. Cowherd himself promotes the podcast in this video:

The name of the podcast comes from the fact that it will be record from the garage of the off-campus house in which all four players live. The first episode now is available, and two episodes will be released every week. It will be interesting to hear insights that surely wouldn’t have been possible before the new NIL rules took effect.
