Irish sophomore safety Spencer Perry announced his intention to transfer Thursday on social media. The Newhan, Georgia, native saw action in six games this season, but did not record any tackles. Most of his time on the field came at special teams.
“Thanks to [the] University of Notre Dame for the opportunity to pursue my education and play football,” Perry said in a tweet. “All the best to my advisors, professors, rector, teammates, coaches and the Fighting Irish fans. At this time, I am electing to transfer and continue my educational goals and football career elsewhere.”
The three-star prospect out of IMG Academy had been playing the new rover position throughout spring practice, but has struggled to rise above fourth on the depth chart at the position.
