Sam Pendleton, a 6-foot-4, 310-pound interior lineman, was the only Notre Dame football player this season with a publicly announced concussion.

Notre Dame offensive lineman Pat Coogan, who started 26 games over the last two seasons and often served as the team's pregame hype man, is transferring. Coogan announced his intentions on social media Thursday and will have one year of eligibility remaining as a graduate transfer.
