Steve Angeli, once considered a strong contender for Notre Dame’s starting quarterback job, has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal following the program’s annual Blue-Gold spring game. Angeli’s departure signals a shift in the Fighting Irish’s quarterback room, where highly touted sophomore Kenny Minchey and five-star freshman CJ Carr are both looking to solidify their positions under center. Angeli’s move comes after a spring game in which he displayed solid poise but lacked the explosive plays coaches may have been looking for. Fans expressed mixed feelings, praising Angeli’s leadership and commitment over the past seasons while acknowledging that the program is turning a new page. Head coach Marcus Freeman emphasized that the competition was ongoing but noted that the staff supports players seeking better opportunities. With Angeli’s departure and Kennedy Urlacher also hitting the portal, the Irish are preparing for a slightly revamped roster heading into fall. The team’s depth chart may look very different by the time summer practices begin, and all eyes are now on how Minchey and Carr perform under pressure. Angeli is expected to be highly sought-after by Group of Five and Power Five schools needing veteran QB leadership.
