  05/21/22 - FS K.J. Wallace IIrSr/2025, UCLA

  K.J. Wallace showed he wasn't afraid of a challenge in choosing to sign with Notre Dame as a four-star prospect at the Lovett School. He demonstrated his willingness to take on hard work in the way he left, too. Seeking more playing time after three seasons with the Fighting Irish, Wallace wanted to go into the transfer portal, but would do so only if he could leave South Bend, Ind., with his degree. But his path to his political-science degree in three years required that he take 20 credits in the spring and another nine this summer.

That was on top of a summer-school class he'll take at his new school - Georgia Tech. Wallace will graduate this summer and be eligible to play for the Yellow Jackets this fall as a grad transfer. "It was a very busy springtime for me," Wallace said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Wallace joins a secondary crowded with aspirants seeking the playing time vacated by safeties Juanyeh Thomas, Tariq Carpenter and Wesley Walker and cornerbacks Tre Swilling and Tobias Oliver. There are no fewer than 17 scholarship players in the secondary. Wallace, who made five tackles in 16 games over his three seasons at Notre Dame, said he has no issue with competition. In his recruitment, "definitely, no one made any promises to me," Wallace said. "If anything, there's more of a 'you've got to earn it' (feeling). You've got to do what you're capable of doing, and that's really all I was asking for throughout this entire process, is just a real solid opportunity." - Atlanta Journal Constitution
