After a slow start, Notre Dame found gold in the transfer portal to set them up for a championship run in 2026. The signees included two blue chip wide receivers from Ohio State, a pair of talented cornerbacks, and three much-needed defensive linemen. Meanwhile, fourteen Irish players transferred out, although only two were projected to be key contributors next season. Let us review the comings and goings.
Incoming signees:
Jayden Sanders. CB Michigan
The 6’1″ Sanders played well for the Wolverines in a reserve role as a true freshman in 2025. He was a elite recruit from Texas who also excelled at basketball and track.
