Overview
- Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, citing sources, reports that backup quarterback Kenny Minchey is expected to enter the transfer portal.
- Minchey narrowly lost the starting job to CJ Carr after Marcus Freeman said he had to trust his gut in naming the starter.
- The development follows Notre Dame being left out of the 12-team College Football Playoff in favor of Miami and the program declining a bowl bid.
- Minchey, a former four-star recruit, appeared in six games this season and logged limited action as the No. 2 quarterback.
- If he departs, Notre Dame’s depth chart would be thinned, with Irish Wire noting Blake Hebert as the only current scholarship quarterback.
