BREAKTHROUGH: Notre Dame STRIKES with Quincy Porter and Keon Keeley—Title Run LOOMS

Notre Dame surges in the Transfer Portal with four key pickups, including a blockbuster addition of 5-star wide receiver Quincy Porter from Ohio State. Can this momentum push the Fighting Irish into the national title conversation? Brian Smith breaks down the ripple effects of Porter’s arrival, edge rusher Keon Keeley’s fit, and the defensive upgrades with D.J. McKinney and rising star Jayden Sanders. The conversation explores how chemistry, positional needs, and Portal risks could shape Notre Dame’s championship aspirations.

Is NIL driving top talent decisions, or do winning and development still take priority? Brian Smith spotlights Jordan Seaton’s surprise Portal entry from Colorado, raising questions about market value for elite offensive tackles and how schools like Texas or Ohio State may respond. Plus, analysis on critical gaps at defensive tackle and kicker, Portal strategies across the country, and the evolving impact of coaching moves on player movement.
