I'm posting this thread because it was pointed out to me,
cuse45 , that Coach Brown liked this tweet about Lewis entering the portal. Also, fwiw, there is some following with Mannicci.

After four seasons at Notre Dame, cornerback
Clarence Lewis
will look into other options for his fifth and final season of eligibility.
The 6-foot, 202-pound senior entered the transfer portal Friday as a graduate transfer,
Inside ND Sports confirmed with multiple sources. Because Lewis is scheduled to graduate in May, he doesn't have to wait for the April 16-30 transfer portal window to open.
Lewis played in 50 games with 23 starts during his Notre Dame career. He tallied 124 tackles, four tackles for loss, three interceptions, 18 pass breakups, three forced fumbles and one sack in an Irish uniform.
