Head coach Marcus Freeman has said that Notre Dame football’s starting quarterback is already on the roster, and that they won’t look to the transfer portal again to find a new starter.
While that could be what happens, [autotag]Colin Cowherd[/autotag] believes that that might not be the case. The Fox Sports 1 host said on Sunday that he has heard rumors that the Irish will be bringing in a huge name at quarterback following Notre Dame’s run in the College Football Playoff.
Cowherd fails to mention a name, but said “don’t be surprised if a very, very well-known college quarterback transfers to Notre Dame.” The first name that comes to my mind is Texas’ Quinn Ewers, as it seems that the Longhorns will turn to Arch Manning next fall. The junior would be a huge pickup for the Irish.
Duke’s Maalik Murphy could fit that mold as well, but he’s not quite as big of a name as Ewers. While Cowherd has just heard rumors of this happening, we will all be watching to see if it is true.
Multiple sources have said this is not true, including Rivals Adam Gorney.
