The Irish are already looking at the transfer portal to fill holes ahead of the 2023 season. Notre Dame brought in former Western Michigan defensive lineman [autotag]Braden Fiske[/autotag] for a visit. It looks like it went extremely well; a scholarship was extended according to a report from Allen Trieu of 247Sports.
It will not be a quick decision for Fiske. He visited Florida and has offers from Oklahoma, Kansas, West Virginia and Penn State among others. The Michigan City, Indiana, native said he’s “still open, I have a lot of in-home meetings this week,” so expect to find out shortly where Notre Dame stands in his recruitment.
Braden Fiske is probably my favorite portal entry that I've watched today.
Big (6-5, 300) but moves remarkably well, plays with high energy, and very active with hands.
Has gotten better YoY. I think he'll be a guy who plays on Sundays. https://t.co/9IvEHMyYI4 pic.twitter.com/P2dUmNTfco

[autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] hopes playing closer to home is a draw for Fiske, but he has plenty of options for playing time at his next destination. We should know soon if the Irish are still an option for Fiske.
