Notre Dame has added wide receivers Mylan Graham and Quincy Porter from Ohio State through the transfer portal. Graham, who saw limited playing time with the Buckeyes, is looking to make a bigger impact with the Fighting Irish and has set a personal goal of getting stronger to be more physical on 50-50 balls and contested catches.

Why it matters

The Notre Dame wide receiver room is undergoing a significant transformation with the departure of leading receiver Jeremiah Love. Graham and Porter's transfers from Ohio State provide the Fighting Irish with additional depth and talent as they look to bolster their passing attack in 2026.

The details

Neither Graham nor Porter contributed much at Ohio State in 2025, as Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate took the majority of the targets. But with Love leaving for the NFL, Graham and Porter have an opportunity to step up and play bigger roles in Notre Dame's offense under quarterback CJ Carr.

  • Spring ball is just around the corner for Notre Dame.
