Notre Dame's magical 2024 season came to an end with a national championship loss to Ohio State.

By playing all the way to January 20, Notre Dame entered its off-season a bit later than most, meaning roster moves are coming later than others as well.

Players have five days after their season concludes to officially enter into the transfer portal, something you're seeing more Notre Dame players do by the day.

We will update this page when more becomes official regarding Notre Dame's roster.
