Can the football team at Notre Dame accomplish a WR transfer portal hat-trick?

Will the Fighting Irish attempt to add the best of the bunch now that Notre Dame football has two transfer receivers on board?

Marcus Freeman and company are done now right? Maybe not.

There’s still a transfer portal receiver out there who is interested in Notre Dame football that put up better numbers in 2023 than both of them. The big question is whether or not Josh Kelly is still targeted by the Irish.

If you’re a member of the Notre Dame coaching staff, are you really turning your back on a Washington State receiver who had 61 catches for 900 yards and eight touchdowns?

Of course, there’s also a question as to whether or not Kelly is still looking at the Fighting Irish. While he’d almost certainly be a top contender for a starting receiver, there are other schools where a top-of-the-depth chart spot is all but assured for someone who had the kind of numbers that Josh Kelly did.

 

Notre Dame football still in the mix for Josh Kelly?

If the Irish are still in the mix for Kelly, it appears the main team they’re going to have to fight off is Texas Tech.

According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Kelly will be in Lubbock, checking out what the Red Raiders have to offer from today until Wednesday. That multi-day visit is enough to make anyone nervous.

It would help if the Irish had a quarterback to pitch Kelly to if they want to add him to what has already grown into an impressive class of transfer prospects. Riley Leonard joining the Notre Dame football team would undoubtedly be a significant improvement.
