Notre Dame wide receiver KK Smith has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. He just finished up his sophomore season with the Fighting Irish.
He caught eight passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns in 2025. All in all, the wide receiver has amassed 11 catches over two seasons in South Bend.
Smith played high school football at Reedy (Frisco, TX), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 527 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted algorithm that compiles all major recruiting media services.
He’s the twelfth Notre Dame player to make his intentions known regarding the portal. Some fascinating prospects have made plans to enter or have already do so as well, like Gi’Bran Payne and Joshua Burnham.
The 2025-26 college football transfer portal will last 15 days, spanning from Jan. 2 to Jan. 16, the NCAA decided. While players have just over two weeks to enter the portal, they’re not under a deadline to commit when they enter. Traditionally, the cut-off for committing has been how late a school can enroll a player through admissions, so it varies throughout the sport.
