Notre Dame has lost another offensive lineman to the transfer portal as Ty Chan has entered the portal. On3’s Pete Nakos confirmed the news.

Chan saw action, mostly on special teams, throughout the 2024 season. He was part of Notre Dame’s run to the national championship game, before falling to Ohio State.

Chan spent two seasons at Notre Dame before entering the transfer portal. As a freshman in 2023 he appeared in two games. This past season, Chan appeared in 12 games.

Prior to coming to Notre Dame, the 6-foot-5, 320-pounder was ranked as a four-star recruit and the No. 269 overall player in the country in the class of 2022, per the On3 Industry Rankings. Chan is the third Notre Dame offensive lineman to enter the transfer portal or announce plans to do so on Thursday, joining guard Rocco Spindler and center Pat Coogan.

More on Notre Dame OL Rocco Spindler entering NCAA transfer portal

Notre Dame offensive lineman Rocco Spindler also entered the NCAA transfer portal, just days after the team’s loss in the national championship game, On3 has learned. Spindler played extensively for the Fighting Irish this fall, starting 13 of the team’s 16 games on the year.

He’ll therefore offer someone quite a bit of experience via the NCAA transfer portal, which can sometimes be difficult to come by at the offensive line position. He’s not the first Notre Dame player to enter following the title game loss, and he likely won’t be the last.

Spindler has been a strong contributor for the last two years, too. After appearing in 14 games total with no starts in his first two seasons, Spindler began to get his footing with the program. He started 10 games in 2023, starting in every game that he appeared in. Then he started 13 this fall.

Prior to enrolling at Notre Dame, Rocco Spindler was ranked as a four-star prospect and the No. 65 overall recruit in the nation in the 2021 recruiting class. He also checked in as the No. 4 interior offensive lineman in the class and the No. 3 overall player from the state of Michigan, hailing from Clarkston (MI) Clarkston.
