Report: Notre Dame still seen as front-runner for top transfer quarterback

If you’re a Notre Dame fan and are unfamiliar with the name Sam Hartman, we’ll give you a final chance to become aware before the expected news breaks that he’s coming to South Bend.

According to a report from Pete Thamel of ESPN, Hartman still favors Notre Dame and an announcement is expected by the end of the week.

So who is Hartman? The veteran quarterback is an ACC-record holder who spent the last five seasons at Wake Forest. Just how highly regarded is he?

“I think Sam Hartman if he ends up at Notre Dame (is 2023’s top impact transfer),” ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit said on Monday’s episode of “College GameDay.”

Hartman concluded his time at Wake Forest with a stellar performance in a win against Missouri in the Gasparilla Bowl just before Christmas. He threw his 108th career touchdown pass, the most by an ACC quarterback.

As Thamel said, the news is still expected to be good for Notre Dame and could come by the end of the week. Assuming it does, prepare for the expectations for Marcus Freeman’s second season to go skyward.
