Kennedy Urlacher, a sophomore safety at Notre Dame and son of NFL Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher, has officially entered the transfer portal with a 'do not contact' tag. After a promising freshman season in which he recorded 12 tackles over 14 games, Urlacher's decision comes as he faced stiff competition for playing time, likely being positioned as the fifth safety on the depth chart for the upcoming season. His departure adds to the ongoing dynamics within the Notre Dame football program as they prepare for the next season.

Kennedy Urlacher was probably going to be the 5th safety at best for Notre Dame this season behind Shuler, Tae Johnson, Talich, and Stroman. He was pretty much stuck in a logjam and not sure if he was going to work his way up the depth chart
