Latest news and updates about the Notre Dame
The college football season is over and with that comes the final poll rankings. In this new era of a 12 team playoff, the final rankings play second fiddle to the playoff field, but it’s still something important. Whether it’s a recruiting pitch or a state of the program or just a good old fashioned […]

Welcome to day one of the 2026 Notre Dame Football season. I’m sure you can make an argument that it started much earlier, but I’m not — it’s today. Notre Dame has a ton of talent coming back in 2026, and is bringing in 36 new players via recruiting and the transfer portal (which is […]

That’s an exciting title — isn’t it? That’s a thing in 2026 which, if it becomes reality, would mean the Irish have rightfully claimed their spot as the king of college football. It’s also something the Indiana Hoosiers just accomplished in the 2025 season… which just feels insane. So congrats to Indiana for winning the […]

We’re very close to getting this nightmare over with — or maybe started — I don’t know, but the National Championship Game between the Indiana Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes is being played on Monday night. We’ve seen a number of Notre Dame fans talk about not watching or paying attention to the college football playoff […]

It’s been a tough road for Notre Dame so far in ACC play. We knew it would probably be a tough year for the Irish, and it has only been rougher since the loss of Markus Burton to injury. On Saturday, the irish lost to Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, 89-76. It was the fourth straight […]

Here comes the national championship game between the Indiana Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes. It’s been a wild ride for Notre Dame fans over the last month and a half, but as wild as that ride has been for fans — it had to be wilder for head coach Marcus Freeman. Through it all, very little […]

Notre Dame is having a very good transfer portal season so far, and it just got better. Oregon defensive tackle, Tionne Gray, has committed to Notre Dame. The 6’6” 336 pound monster from St. Louis, Missouri, will have three years of eligibility remaining. Notre Dame went into the offseason in need of at least two […]

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman stepped up to the podium in the media room inside Notre Dame Stadium on Wednesday afternoon, and there was a bit of tension in the air. While this press conference fell under the category of “normal portal wrap up,” the events of the last month definitely made this something […]

We are quickly coming to the end of the transfer portal window for college football, and despite an insanely odd start for Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish — I think they just won. The Irish still have at least one public target on the board in Oregon DT Tionne Gray, but after […]

Notre Dame just had a masterful two days with transfer portal commitments, and most Irish fans are applauding this fantastic effort. As much talent as the Irish are bringing in, there is one position that still feels a little light. Notre Dame went into the portal with some needs, and most had the Irish pegged […]

Notre Dame finally got their kicker in the transfer portal and he’s from the Purdue Boilermakers. Spencer Porath, a sophomore from Brownsburg, Indiana, with two years of eligibility remaining, has committed to Notre Dame. I don’t have much to say about this. Notre Dame was absolutely going to get a kicker out of the portal, […]

If Notre Dame can’t recruit 5-Star wide receivers out of high school, they are well on their way to being more than competent of doing out of the transfer portal. After what has been an up and down — cold and hot — recruitment of Ohio State wide receiver, Mylan Graham, he has finally given […]

Of all of the needs that Notre Dame needed to get out of the transfer portal this cycle, perhaps no need was bigger (figuratively and literally) than at defensive tackle. On Tuesday, Notre Dame made public the transfer portal commitment of Pitt Panthers defensive tackle, Francis Brewu. Brewu was recruited to Pitt by new irish […]

Notre Dame has the best returning secondary in the country for 2026 with all four starters back and another brilliant recruiting class — but they wanted to add even more depth from the transfer portal moving forward. On Monday, Notre Dame has its public commitment from Michigan Wolverines defensive back, Jayden Sanders. Sanders is a […]

Notre Dame finally has their man. Next up from the transfer portal for the Irish is Alabama defensive end Keon Keeley. Keon Keeley is well known by Notre Dame fans as the talented former 5-Star prospect from Florida was once committed to the Irish before changing his mind and signing with the Alabama Crimson Tide […]

Here they come now… Notre Dame’s run in the transfer portal is a good one this year, and today most are being made public. Next up is Ohio State wide receiver, Quincy Porter. Porter was a 5-Star prospect in 2025 from Bergen Catholic High School in New Jersey. At 6’4” and 210 pounds, Porter is […]

There’s a running joke online right now which makes fun of Notre Dame for having ZERO transfer portal commitments and/or signings. As it’s been mentioned by a large number of people… that’s not going to last very long. Early last week we stated to hear that any Notre Dame commitments made through the portal will […]

It seemed like news was breaking all around on Sunday concerning Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman and some issues with the law. The situation stems from an alleged incident at a wrestling tournament in which Marcus’s son was competing in for Penn High School. Most in the media (ourselves included) heard the news […]

The big question tonight would be how the Irish would mentally rebound after getting defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by some brutal officiating in their last contest against Cal. Unfortunately, this was a game where sheer want-to wouldn’t be enough. Notre Dame was simply beaten by a team that didn’t so much dominate […]

Coach Brad Brownell would never admit it, but tonight’s homecoming matchup in his home state of Indiana probably meant a little more to him than your typical ACC conference game. When the dust settled in South Bend Indiana, Clemson found itself with a convincing 76–61 win at Notre Dame on Saturday night, moving to 14-3 […]

Before I even begin — what a fantastic game the Fiesta Bowl turned out to be. Miami VS Ole Miss could have been a real turd, but they gave college football fans one of those rare type of great games in the college football playoff. So how in the hell does ESPN start off their […]

Thomas is a 6’1, 187 pound cornerback from Phoenix, Arizona. He appeared in three games this past season, preserving a year of eligibility. On limited snaps he […]

The first few days of the college football transfer portal were less than ideal for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. We’ve gone over the details multiple times, so there’s no sense in rehashing them again in this article (for now). What some people are calling the “2nd part of the portal window” is now upon […]

Missouri picked up its fifth commitment from the 2026 transfer portal in Notre Dame safety JaDon Blair on Tuesday evening. The news was confirmed by Blair on his Instagram. Blair was a true freshman this season, appearing in just one game for the Irish before redshirting, so Missouri picks up the safety with four full […]
