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 […]
In the new era of mass exodus in the transfer portal, having a successful transfer class could make or break the season.
