Notre Dame football spring practice is a month away, and the Irish have several critical defensive position battles that will determine roles, rotations, and the overall ceiling of the defense in 2026, including nickel, defensive tackle, will linebacker, and kicker.

On this crossover edition of Locked on Irish and the Portal, Tyler Wojciak is joined by Locked On’s Recruiting and Transfer Portal Insider Brian Smith to break down how the college football landscape is changing, why Indiana’s championship run may signal a shift in team-building philosophy, and what Notre Dame’s portal strategy says about the future of the program. Tyler and Brian dive into Notre Dame’s latest portal additions, including Mylan Graham, Quincy Porter, Francis Brewu, Tionne Gray, and Keon Keeley, before turning their attention to the quarterback room and what’s next for CJ Carr, Teddy Jarrard, and the 2027 recruiting class. (0:00) - Intro(1:52) - Transfer Portal Takeaways(12:01) - Portal Player Breakdowns(24:51) - QB Future Follow Tyler on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TylerWojciakFollow Locked On Irish on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnIrishFollow Locked On Irish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonirishpod/?hl=enSubscribe to Locked on Irish on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC749D_LgykIE8WLu7W4UQlQ Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
