The Notre Dame Fighting Irish came up just short of winning their first college football national championship since 1988 when they lost to Ohio State, 34-23, in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. Outside of a shocking loss to Northern Illinois early in the regular season, the Irish were dominant, notching blowout wins in their other 11 regular season games. Head coach Marcus Freeman and his staff built the Notre Dame football roster through several strong Notre Dame football recruiting classes and a handful of strategic Transfer Portal additions, including quarterback Riley Leonard.
Freeman will have to find a replacement for Leonard, as well as a pair of All-American defenders in safety Xavier Watts and tackle Howard Cross III. Notre Dame players have five days to enter the transfer portal and until Friday to enter the NFL Draft, which could come into play for cornerback Benjamin Morrison.
