Blue & Gold Illustrated confirmed late Wednesday evening. Sophomore defensive end Kolin Hill will transfer from Notre Dame and not report to fall camp, which begins Friday,confirmed late Wednesday evening.

The Schertz, Texas, native played in nine games as a freshman while recording seven tackles and two sacks. Against Michigan, he notched 1.5 sacks.

He was expected to be a part of Notre Dame's pass rush, an area where the Irish lack previous experience heading into 2015.

Irish head coach Brian Kelly will address the media in his first press conference of the fall season Thursday at 10 a.m.

Hill committed to Notre Dame on Dec. 15, 2013 after the Irish became a player in his recruitment late in the process. It is not known where Hill is expected to transfer.

Notre Dame lost a pair of pass rushers in recent months in sophomore defensive end Jhonny Williams, who announced his transfer over the summer, and freshman defensive end Bo Wallace, who signed with the Irish as a recruit but ultimately decided to attend Arizona State.
