SMU offers Notre Dame TE transfer Cane Berrong
Notre Dame tight end Cane Berrong is in the NCAA transfer portal and SMU is the latest to enter the mix with an offer, he announced Thursday on Twitter.
The 6-3, 240-pound redshirt freshman did not record any stats in his second season with the Fighting Irish after tearing his ACL during the 2021 season. Last spring, Notre Dame tight ends coach Gerad Parker said he was progressing well. He appeared in one game in 2022.
“He has great, soft hands and catches it easy,” Parker said. “He’s a great kid. He studies hard and prepares in the meeting room just like he would be coming out to practice, which I think tells you a lot about who he is. He’s preparing well and putting himself in position to come back and get healthy in the summer.”
Berrong played high school football for Hart County in Hartwell, GA, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 273 overall recruit in the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Texas A&M transfer running back LJ Johnson, Liberty transfer linebacker Ahmad Walker, Fresno State transfer defensive back Cale Sanders, Missouri transfer offensive lineman Hyrin White, Miami transfers Key’Shawn Smith, Jordan Miller, Elijah Roberts, Jaylan Knighton, West Virginia transfer defensive back Charles Woods and Stanford defensive back Jonathan McGill are the current transfer commits for SMU.
