Virginia wide receiver Malachi Fields is coming to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Fields posted on his Instagram account that he is heading to South Bend via the transfer portal.

Fields had 55 catches for 808 yards and five touchdowns in 2024.

Notre Dame and Penn State appeared to be Fields’ top two choices when it became clear he wouldn’t return to Virginia after his senior season. Both schools offer star players with NFL aspirations two things: The chance to have a spotlight shone on them and a chance to play for a national championship.

Now it looks like the potential future NFL receiver is heading to South Bend and not Happy Valley
