Did Notre Dame already find their starting quarterback for 2023 before the off-season even officially began? It would certainly appear that way based off what happened on Wednesday.
At roughly 3:00 p.m. ET, Duke quarterback Riley Leonard announced that he was entering the transfer portal.
By roughly 3:01 p.m. ET, it was seemingly universally assumed that he had already picked his landing spot.
And that spot seems to be Notre Dame.
While nothing is official yet, nor can it be for a number of days, the biggest key that a decision has already been made is that Leonard has marked himself as a “no contact” while in the portal. That would indicate that he’s not interested in hearing any pitches and that he’s already made a choice.
With all of that in mind, here is how social media reacted to the news of the star quarterback entering the transfer portal on Wednesday.
