Former Notre Dame defensive end Grant Blankenship is transferring to Oklahoma.

Blankenship will finish his final two seasons with the Sooners.

Blankenship's mother, Yvonne, confirmed her son's transfer directly with Irish247.

"OU is a great place and we're looking forward to the next chapter," she said. "We'll miss the ND family."

Irish247 reported this offseason that Blankenship was not participating in team workouts and was likely not going to be a part of the program moving forward.

Blankenship played in 11 games as a true freshman in 2014 and saw action in three games as a sophomore. He has 13 career tackles.

He signed with the Irish in 2014 out of The Colony (Texas) high school.
