Incoming Transfer Portal Tracker

[ndomer4 532]

So from the little bit of reading I’ve done, it looks like Texas QB, Hudson Card, may be a possibility. He was a 2021 academic all big 12 and apparently has graduated, so he could potentially get through admissions. I’d be interested in the NC State QB and McCall as well, granted they decide to transfer.
 

I honestly don’t see a position ND wouldn’t take, maybe RB with the returning players and recruits, but that’s it. 
 

I have also read that ND is considering changes in regards to accepting transfers. Hopefully the success of USC and Marshall shows how important this is and that if we don’t get with the times, we will be left in the dust. 
 

Please add any transfer portal players with interest in this thread.

Take anyone because who knows what the room will look like in a month, then again after the spring.

Which qb did we get?  Someone has to know…

At this point I’ll take anyone. Haha. Card I guess would be my first choice. Do they try and go after two?  Would that detract from the one they truly want?

This guy is getting a ton of interest from top programs. Losing Foskey and one of the Ademelola’s, we will need some transfers on the d line. 
 

We have some young talent, but are Ford or Vernon going to be ready? Time will tell.

I think you go after two. Brennan Armstrong is another candidate. So is McCall if he enters. 
 

If one loses the contest, I’m sure they’ll transfer the next season if they have any eligibility. If Buchner returns, I doubt they promise the job to anyone.

No need to go after two with Buchner, Angeli, and Minchey on the roster. 4 is a good number for a QB room. Technically 5 with Powlus, but Powlus is a pure legacy scholarship and will never see the field.

I read that Hudson Card is rumored to be following Tom Herman, new HC at FAU.

That would be a pretty crazy move. He's a former Top 100 recruit who showed well this season, especially against Bama. He is being pursued by a ton of P5 programs. I can't see him turning teams like ND down for FAU just because his old coach went there. Will be interesting to follow.

Completely agree. No idea what the upside of a move to FAU would be other than familiarity with the offense. It seems ANY P5 program would be a better move for him, even if not ND.

Agreed, doesn't make sense.  TCU was being mentioned a lot - ND, as well.  These transfers are looking for a guaranteed starting job, though, so maybe FAU is the play.

[SDIrishFan 607]

It's hard for me to even figure out who I want as QB1 next year. They all have questions marks, which I suppose is why they are in the portal.

In no particular order:

Card - highly-rated out of HS, played in TX, has shown potential. I view him as Ian Book 2.0. Better arm, more athletic, not afraid to throw it down field. But he doesn't have a ton of experience at this point, so it's not a sure-fire pick.

Armstrong - do you get 2021 version, or 2022 version? He's prone to a lot of interceptions but the guy can sling it and is athletic. Plus, he looks like he should be on the ND team, ha.

Leary - He'd be my #1 for sure if it wasn't for the injury. Who knows how that heals. Will he be ready for spring ball? If not, that's a HUGE risk for ND. 

There's a couple other names being thrown around and I suppose there's probably a surprise or two still to come, but that's how I see it as of now.

Yup. But doubt Foskey's situation/position has anything to do with things. Totally iDL.
