2026 ND Portal Targets

[NDPhilly]

Confirmed Tionne Gray and Jourdan Blake (director of player personnel) exchanged follows. Al Washington also followed him.

Body like him is exactly who you’d like to pair Brewu with.

 

[ND87]

Let's talk best case scenario:
-Young and Traore better than last year
-Keeley inside pass rusher on 3rd down and otherwise starter quality DE
-Add two more good DTs so you don't suck at that position
-LBs are good
-DBs elite
-Return basically 9 starters on defense with DL upgrades. That unit was top ten by the end of the season.

-OL will be breaking in new starters but probably has at least 3x guys that will get drafted
-RB is fine but a downgrade.
-WR is a potentially massive upgrade.
-TE is probably a downgrade.
-QB is a first round draft pick.

So I think the only question mark is if the OL plays well enough to keep CJ clean and if we stay healthy. But the defense is easily top 5 on paper.

So we're STILL looking for DT's?!

I am so ready for September!!! ☘️

Just get Duncan the walrus from that Geico hockey commercial and put him at nose and let everybody else do their thing.

What is Porter's upside? Drake London? Doesn't seem like a super smooth athlete but is a better route runner than I would've thought, pretty agile for his size, and is crazy athletic.

I think he is Fields

Has Jourdan Blake taken Gray to Hacienda yet?

 

[NDPhilly]

Former OSU coach / scumbag Zach Smith

 

[Cpnd1]

[NDWarrior]

Assuming with picking up 2 CBs today, the staff passed on Smith Snowden?

2008 be like

 

[Crazy Balki]

No more announcements tonight per Loy

ND is saving some for tomorrow

The ND fan portal edging session continues...

 

[Crazy Balki]

I get the feeling we're going to love Partridge and his awesomely weird and random ass friendship with Seider.

 

[CoachB]

So would somebody in the know be so kind as to give comps for the guys we picked up today? What level are they at? Thanks in advance.

maybe we are getting 27 RB Spell

Driskell today compared Porter to Fields but not as filled out body wise yet

 

[Dale]

I don’t think Fields and Porter share very many similarities besides height

 

[arrowryan]

Driskell today compared Porter to Fields but not as filled out body wise yet

Considering Porter is probably 3 years younger, that should be expected.

Crazy the year we go all in and actually mean it, our OL appears to be the biggest question mark because we don't have 5 NFL prospects .... Which is opposite of the last 26+ years lol... Love it

 

[calvegas04]

2008 be like

Little did we know 2008 was right all along about needing more DTs

Yeah, he really would be the replacement for Rubio and insurance for Onye.

Gray would help with the obvious distinction between NGs and DTs at ND moving forward. I'm projecting weights into next season on a couple of these guys and I'm really only listing guys that I think have a chance to play...

Nose Guards
Tionne Gray (6'6, 336lbs)
Armel Mukam (6'3, 310lbs)
Davion Dixon (6'2, 324lbs)
Sean Sevillano (6'2, 340lbs)
Tiki Hola (6'3, 305lbs)

Defensive Tackles
Francis Brewu (6'1, 290lbs)
Elijah Hughes (6'3, 300lbs)
Cole Mullins (6'5, 285lbs)
Chris Burgess Jr (6'4, 290lbs)
Elijah Golden (6'4, 285lbs)

[PANDFAN]

Weren’t dudes pissing themselves just 24 hours ago bitching how ND had screwed up the portal and all these losses in the portal to teams like IU were an embarrassing look for the school. Maybe you guys should have some patience and not listen to a bunch of talking heads whose jobs are literally to envoke an emotional reaction driving up views and user interactions. Trust in the process and the coaches who have proven to at the very least have a good game plan for building a roster of players that fit their culture. Go Irish! In Freeman we trust!

Yep all the time... it's like looking at the Facebook and X comments from fans came here... just remember MMFF and coaches know what the fuck they're doing

The OL doesn’t concern me whatsoever. They’ve recruited really well there. Just gotta find the right combo

 

[BrooklynDomer]

Assuming with picking up 2 CBs today, the staff passed on Smith Snowden?

I actually was wondering the same thing. Snowden is the only true slot / nickel CB of the bunch, so it’s tempting. But when you have Moore, Gray, McKinney, Sanders, Zachery and Golden, not sure you can justify adding anyone else.
