Clemson wide receiver Beaux Collins announced Sunday he will move to Notre Dame with one season of eligibility remaining.Collins was the No. 48 recruit general in the 2021 class and signed with Clemson out of Bellflower, California. He played in 11 games throughout his freshman season in 2021 and captured 31 passes for 407 lawns and three touchdowns.In 10 games throughout the 2022 season, Collins had 22 receptions, 373 yards and 5 goals and followed that up with 510 backyards and three touchdowns last season.The 6-foot-3, 210-pound receiver will include talent back to a receiver space that lost production through

the transfer website this offseason. Notre Dame saw leading receiver Chris Tyree transfer to Virginia, while its third-leading receiver Rico Flores Jr. and Tobias Merriweather also went into the transfer website, as did tight end Holden Staes, who caught four touchdown passes in the 2023 season.The coaching staff has actually included Collins and is also bringing in FIU receiver Kris Mitchell, who had 1,187 receiving lawns and 7 touchdowns this season for the Panthers.Notre Dame is still potentially seeking to include a transfer at the quarterback position also. With Sam Hartman out of eligibility, there is a chance for a new starter,

and the coaches have revealed interest in Duke’s Riley Leonard.Leonard has not yet decided on where he will transfer, but he would now have some brand-new targets to toss to with Collins and Mitchell on board if he were to select Notre Dame.
