Sam to South Bend
Notre Dame has their starting quarterback for next season after acquiring the number-one ranked player at the position. Sam Hartman, formerly of Wake Forest will head to South Bend with hopes of competing in the College Football Playoff in the 2023/24 season.
Hartman entered the NCAA transfer portal just over a week ago and Notre Dame have always been the front runners to capture his signature.

Notre Dame’s starting quarterback this season was Drew Pyne. Pyne has transferred to Arizona State, leaving the position open. Backup Tyler Buchner played well in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl victory over South Carolina, but he does not have the experience nor the ability of Hartman.
Early in the season, Hartman had a blood clot scare that was feared could end his career. However, Hartman barely missed a beat and played 12 games this season. In those games he threw for 3,701 yards and 38 touchdowns.
Should he open the season as the Irish starter, Hartman will have no time to rest on his laurels. Ohio State and Clemson are on the schedule in the first three weeks of the season for Notre Dame, and postseason hopes could rely on good results in those encounters.
