Marshall guard Cain Madden transfers to Notre Dame, likely 2021 starter

Needing to replace four NFL-bound offensive linemen, Notre Dame turned to the transfer portal for some interior experience. Marshall guard Cain Madden announced a grad transfer to the Irish on Friday afternoon.

To stick with the summer’s format, let’s discuss his arrival and impact in “99-to-0” terms …

No. 62
Listed measurements: 6-foot-3, 313 pounds.
2021-22 year, eligibility: Madden can only enjoy this transfer because of the universal pandemic eligibility waiver. He started for the Herd the last three seasons, in addition to playing in all 13 games in 2017, but with 2020 essentially not counting for eligibility concerns, Madden has this one season remaining.
