Notre Dame football: Transfer running back loving new life at ND

It hasn’t taken Devyn Ford long to fall in love with Notre Dame in more ways than one.

Notre Dame’s backfield appears to be loaded as the Fighting Irish are a week from starting the 2023 season. A veteran that will have his name near the top of the depth chart this fall is Penn State transfer Devyn Ford.

Ford spoke to the media on Tuesday for the first time since announcing his transfer from one football powerhouse to another. A few of the highlights from it can be found below.

Among them are a little detail about how Notre Dame pursued Ford a few short years ago during recruitment, how little he knew about Notre Dame football not long ago, and how much he has enjoyed being around the people at Notre Dame early on.
