Notre Dame enters a critical offseason with a dramatically changed transfer portal landscape, and the margin for error has never been smaller. Tyler Wojciak breaks down Notre Dame’s biggest needs in the transfer portal under the new, shortened January window, which runs from January 2–16 with limited exceptions for College Football Playoff participants. Tyler ranks each position by urgency, explains how many players Notre Dame should add at each spot, examines who is leaving and returning, and outlines why each position matters for the Irish moving forward. He also dives into realistic portal profiles and potential targets, while explaining why certain position groups do not need to be addressed at all.
