Notre Dame misses out to Florida State on defensive lineman transfer

What does Notre Dame need for help on the DLine next year?

Notre Dame has had quite the run on the defensive line in recent years but that has undoubtedly taken a slight step back recently.  The Irish thought they had help on the way via the transfer portal but missed out the day after Christmas to Florida State.

Defensive tackle Braden Fiske, formerly of Western Michigan, announced his intent to transfer to Florida State.  Fiske recently took a visit to Notre Dame and it had appeared the Irish coaching staff liked their chances of landing his talents.

Fiske is coming off a year that saw him record 58 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and six sacks.  This one stings as Fiske didn’t just attend Western Michigan, but grew up in Notre Dame’s back yard as he attended Michigan City (Indiana) High School.

Back to the drawing board Notre Dame goes for help at defensive tackle and across the board in the transfer portal.
