Notre Dame a contender for former five-star defensive lineman?

Besides Sam Hartman, what is your biggest want in the transfer portal for Notre Dame?

It was just over a year ago that Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M made headlines as they hauled in what was supposed to be one of the most epic recruiting classes of all-time.  A year later that recruiting class continues to fall apart as the Aggies have seen several star recruits from a year ago enter the transfer portal.

The latest to do so should be of major interest to Notre Dame.  Defensive lineman Anthony Lucas entered the portal on Wednesday.  Lucas was a five-star recruit just a year ago and was rated as one of the nation’s very best defensive lineman.  Notre Dame gained his attention for quite some time before he ultimately chose Texas A&M.

Lucas was the top-rated player in Arizona in the 2022 recruiting class.  If his other top schools from a year ago give any indication, then Notre Dame and UCLA would figure to be among the favorites to land him.

Obviously, following several key losses on the defensive line and misses so far in the portal, Marcus Freeman and company could certainly use the talents Lucas would bring.  Stay tuned as a crazy off-season is only getting started in South Bend.
