2026 ND Portal Targets

[NDVirginia19]

Probably shouldn’t have pissed in the bed at the open house.

I had it in the offer to ensure that the mattress conveyed. Don’t see what the big deal was

Given ND's needs, if I could only have one, I'd rather get Porter than Graham because Porter plays the boundary. That said, I'd definitely like to have both given the attrition ND has faced in the WR room and the fact that both Faison and Greathouse project to be gone at season's end.

The fact that Ohio State is trying diligently to keep Graham is indicative of how they feel about him really good player, that just happened to be blocked by Carnell Tate this year and who should battle for a starting spot in 2026. I also think the academic concerns that Graham had coming iut of high school (couldn't even qualify for ND) are probably still concerning for him. Remaining eligible at Ohio State is one thing. Remaining eligible at a place like Notre Dame is a different deal all together.

I’d like to get both but it would frankly be weird for Graham to come here to if he’s projecting to be our back up slot receiver

Would he be our likely starting slot?

 

[rtrn2glory]

Based on what I understand we have 4 signed correct?

Over Greathouse? Maybe?

that’s what’s coming out but we’ve been shown the beat is pretty much clueless currently and the staff is obviously radio silent, so let’s wait and see until about Wednesday night. By then we will know one way or the other

Per @On3sports, twitter posters with ZERO nuts (likely for life):

Brad Powers

The "sell" isn't that he'd be a backup. The idea would be a 3-for-2 position split with Greathouse and Faison, each getting 40-45 (plus whatever they steal from the TE room in 10 personnel) snaps per game, keeping everyone fresh, before taking over next year as the full-time field receiver in a potential draft year.

Who the hell is Brad Powers?

 

[jprue24]

Who the hell is Brad Powers?

A man in the market for a bigger boat?

Who the hell is Brad Powers?

I was wondering the same.

 

[NDVirginia19]

When the hell is Brad Powers

On3 OSU insider doesn't think brewu ends up there. Saying they want a different body type

Beat has been struggling since the Rees boys left town.

Love that the analysis of this is getting down to differentiating physiques. What a world.

Kinda agree but we’re desperate.

I wouldn’t be surprised. The story yesterday was that Day was asking for $10 million more to have a top 5 roster next year

 

[IRISHbluehen]

I think we have a couple guys that can be a fire hydrant in there and take up space, but a gap shooter with pass rush ability, that is very much needed.

 

[benneboy]

Brewu is an important piece. He had 7 tfls last year which is the most Howard Cross had in any season. We also just need more numbers at this point to give ourselves a greater chance at somebody taking a big leap

 

[mrmcgrail]

Yeah from what it sounds like OSU is going all in on the bama duo

 

[Padomer9]

Perfect. I think ND is looking for any body type at DT at this point.

I believe, They play a lot more multiple fronts on D bc of Patricia. It makes sense. We predominately play 4 down. So he fits as a 3tech.

Sign me up up for that... Brewu is the exact type of body type that Patridge and Ash would feast with. 6'1... He'll probably play at 285lbs this year. Complete gym rat that plays wayyyy above his size. He'll be penetrating gaps all game long!!

Threaten to sue the NCAA into oblivion, get that 6th year for Onye and those guys would be a perfect starting tandem, with Hughes and one Mullins or Burgess rounding out the 2-deep.

Did they get rid of the portal period after spring ball?

Yes. A huge part of why this Portal period has been so frantic. This is the only chance teams have to make moves!
