After much speculation, debate, and prognostication, there is finally some tangible movement in Notre Dame's 2025 QB race, literally, as Steve Angeli moves into the open market in the transfer portal. While Angeli never got his chance to shine as the full-time starter for the Irish, he will be remembered fondly by the Irish faithful.

Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr is expected to win the starting quarterback job and enter 2025 as one of the faces of the storied Fighting Irish program. Top contender Steve Angeli entered the transfer portal on Thursday, leaving Carr as the favorite over Kenny Minchey to capture the job.

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman doesn’t expect to add in the spring portal, barring an unexpected rash of departures.
